What is the proper way to carry a firearm when hunting with a group?

  1. Side carry

  2. Shoulder carry

  3. Two-handed carry

  4. Safe carry depends on the specific situation

The correct answer is: Safe carry depends on the specific situation

One may think that the shoulder or two-handed carry is the correct way to carry a firearm when hunting with a group, but this is not always the case. While both of these options may provide more control and stability, it is important to consider the specific situation and surroundings when deciding on the safest way to carry a firearm. Sometimes, the safest way to carry is by side carry, especially in situations where there is dense vegetation, steep terrain, or large obstacles that may impede your movements. Therefore, the correct answer is D, safe carry depends on the specific situation.
