What should you do to safely cross an obstacle (such as a fence or ditch) while hunting?

  1. Crawl under the obstacle with your firearm

  2. Unload your firearm and leave it on one side while you cross

  3. Throw your firearm over the obstacle, then cross

  4. Jump over the obstacle with your firearm

The correct answer is: Unload your firearm and leave it on one side while you cross

When encountering an obstacle like a fence or ditch while hunting, it is crucial to prioritize safety. Option B, which suggests unloading your firearm and leaving it on one side while you cross, is the correct choice. This ensures that the firearm is not accidentally discharged during the crossing, reducing the risk of an accidental shooting. It also prevents any damage to the firearm or interference with the action that may be caused by jumping, throwing, or crawling with the firearm. Therefore, unloading the firearm and leaving it on one side before safely crossing the obstacle is the best practice to follow.
