Before crossing a fence while hunting, what should you do?

Leave the firearm loaded
Pass the firearm to a companion
Unload the firearm and cross carefully
Jump over the fence with the firearm in hand

The correct answer is: Unload the firearm and cross carefully

Crossing a fence while hunting can be dangerous and it is important to prioritize safety. Leaving the firearm loaded (option A) can increase the risk of accidental discharge and potentially harm yourself or others. Passing the firearm to a companion (option B) may seem like a safer option, but it is still important to unload the firearm before crossing to avoid any accidents. Jumping over the fence with the firearm in hand (option D) is never a safe or recommended approach, as it can easily lead to accidents. Therefore, the correct and safest option is to unload the firearm and cross the fence carefully (option C).
