When crossing a fence while carrying a firearm, you should first:

Unload the firearm
Hand the firearm to a fellow hunter
Leave the firearm on the ground
Shoot a warning shot

The correct answer is: Unload the firearm

When crossing a fence while carrying a firearm, it is important to prioritize safety. Unloading the firearm first ensures that the gun cannot accidentally fire while crossing the fence. Handing the firearm to another person can also be dangerous as the other person may not be aware of proper gun handling and accidents could occur. Leaving the firearm on the ground could also be hazardous as it could get stepped on or damaged. Shooting a warning shot is also not recommended as it could potentially harm others in the area. Therefore, unloading the firearm is the safest and most responsible option when crossing a fence while carrying a firearm.
