What should you do before crossing a fence while hunting?

  1. Unload your firearm

  2. Hand your firearm to another person

  3. Climb the fence while holding the firearm

  4. Shoot any nearby wildlife

The correct answer is: Unload your firearm

Before crossing a fence while hunting, it is crucial to unload your firearm for safety reasons. This ensures that there is no possibility of accidental discharge while navigating the fence, reducing the risk of injury to yourself or others. Always remember to treat every firearm as if it's loaded and follow proper firearms safety protocols in all situations. The other options are incorrect: handing your firearm to another person can be dangerous, climbing a fence while holding a firearm is unsafe, and shooting any nearby wildlife is unethical and irresponsible behavior.
