When crossing a fence while hunting, what should you NOT do?

Unload your firearm
Cross carefully without damaging the fence
Leave your firearm loaded
Hand your firearm to a companion or place it under the fence

The correct answer is: Leave your firearm loaded

You should not leave your firearm loaded when crossing a fence while hunting. This is because a loaded firearm can accidentally go off if it gets caught on something while crossing the fence, potentially causing harm to yourself or others. Unloading your firearm before crossing is the safest option. Crossing carefully without damaging the fence is important as well, but the priority should be on handling your firearm properly. Additionally, handing your firearm to a companion or placing it under the fence can also increase the risk of accidental discharge. Therefore, the best practice is to safely unload your firearm before crossing the fence.
