What is the best practice for firearm safety when traveling to and from the field?

Carry the firearm loaded and on safety
Keep the firearm unloaded and cased
Carry the firearm unloaded but not cased
Keep the firearm loaded but cased

The correct answer is: Keep the firearm unloaded and cased

When traveling to and from the field with a firearm, the best practice for firearm safety is to keep the firearm unloaded and cased. This is the recommended approach because carrying the firearm unloaded prevents any accidental discharge during transportation, and keeping it cased adds an extra layer of safety by providing protection for the firearm and keeping it out of sight. Keeping the firearm unloaded also ensures that the hunter can safely load the firearm only when they are ready to use it in a suitable and legal hunting area.
