What should you do if you are crossing a fence while hunting?

Carry the firearm in your hands while crossing
Unload the firearm and pass it to a companion or place it under the fence
Shoot any obstacles out of your way
Run as fast as possible to minimize time on the fence

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

It is important to always prioritize safety while hunting and that includes when crossing fences. Option A is not recommended because it can lead to accidental discharge of the firearm. Option C is incorrect because it is illegal and unsafe to shoot at obstacles while hunting. Option D is incorrect because running can increase the risk of injury. The best and safest course of action is to unload the firearm and pass it to a companion or to place it safely under the fence before crossing. This ensures that the firearm is not pointing at any people or animals while crossing.
