What is the best practice for crossing a fence or obstacle while hunting?

  1. Carrying the firearm loaded

  2. Handing the firearm to a companion

  3. Unloading the firearm first

  4. Jumping over with the firearm in hand

The correct answer is: Unloading the firearm first

When crossing a fence or obstacle while hunting, the best practice is to unload the firearm first. This is crucial to ensure safety for yourself and others. By unloading the firearm before crossing the obstacle, you eliminate the risk of accidentally discharging the firearm while navigating the fence or obstacle. It's essential to always prioritize safety when handling firearms, and unloading before crossing barriers is a key safety measure.
