Which of these is not a recommended practice for safely crossing a fence while hunting?

  1. Unloading the firearm

  2. Using a nearby log to support the firearm

  3. Handing the firearm to a companion

  4. Placing the firearm under the fence and then crossing

The correct answer is: Using a nearby log to support the firearm

Using a nearby log to support the firearm is not a recommended practice for safely crossing a fence while hunting because it can cause the firearm to become unstable and potentially discharge, resulting in injury to yourself or others. It is important to always fully unload the firearm and either hand it to a companion or carefully place it under the fence before crossing. This reduces the risk of accidental discharge and ensures the safety of all individuals involved.
