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

Cross while holding the firearm
Leave the firearm at the fence
Unload the firearm and pass it to a companion or place it under the fence
Jump over the fence with the firearm in hand

The correct answer is: Unload the firearm and pass it to a companion or place it under the fence

Crossing a fence while hunting can present potential hazards and safety risks. While it may seem logical to cross while holding your firearm (option A), this increases the risk of the firearm accidentally discharging and causing injury. Leaving the firearm at the fence (option B) is not recommended as it could be accessed by an unauthorized individual, potentially leading to accidents or misuse. Similarly, jumping over the fence with the firearm in hand (option D) also increases the risk of accidental discharge and loss of control over the firearm. The best practice in this scenario is to unload the firearm and either pass it to a companion or place it safely under the fence (option C), reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring the safety of yourself and others.
