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

Unload it and lay it on the ground
Hand it to your hunting partner
Leave the safety on and cross with it
Carry it over the fence while loaded

The correct answer is: Unload it and lay it on the ground

You should always unload your firearm before crossing a fence while hunting. This ensures that the firearm is not accidentally discharged and prevents any potential injuries. Handing it to your hunting partner (B) also carries the risk of an accidental discharge, while leaving the safety on (C) or carrying it over the fence while loaded (D) do not guarantee against accidents. Unloading and laying it on the ground is the safest and most responsible option.
