Which of the following actions is recommended to safely cross a fence while hunting?

  1. Unloading your firearm and going over the fence holding the gun

  2. Handing your loaded firearm to a hunting companion

  3. Climbing the fence while holding the firearm

  4. Unloading your firearm, placing it under the fence, and then crossing

The correct answer is: Unloading your firearm, placing it under the fence, and then crossing

Crossing a fence while hunting can be dangerous if not done properly. Option A is not recommended because it is unsafe to carry a loaded firearm while climbing over a fence. Option B may seem like a good solution, but it is also not recommended as it increases the risk of accidental discharge of the firearm. Option C is also not advised as it is unsafe to climb a fence while holding a firearm. The safest option is to unload the firearm, place it under the fence, and then cross safely. This ensures that the firearm is not loaded and there is no risk of accidental discharge while crossing the fence. It is important to always prioritize safety while hunting.
