Which of the following should be done first when crossing a fence while hunting?

Unload the firearm
Hand the gun to a companion
Look for a low spot in the fence
Cross while holding the firearm

The correct answer is: Unload the firearm

When crossing a fence while hunting, it is important to always prioritize safety. Unloading the firearm first ensures that there is no risk of an accidental discharge while crossing. This should always be the top priority before considering any other actions. Handing the gun off to a companion or crossing while holding it can increase the risk of an accident happening. Looking for a low spot in the fence may seem like a good idea, but it can be time-consuming and dangerous if the spot is not secure. Therefore, unloading the firearm is the safest and most responsible option to do first when crossing a fence while hunting. Remember to always prioritize safety while handling firearms.
