What is a safe practice when crossing a fence while hunting?

Always climb over the fence holding your firearm
Hand your firearm to a hunting companion or place it on the ground under the fence before crossing
Throw your firearm over the fence to the other side before climbing
Cross the fence at the highest point for better balance

The correct answer is: Hand your firearm to a hunting companion or place it on the ground under the fence before crossing

It is a safe practice to hand your firearm to a hunting companion or place it on the ground under the fence before crossing. This eliminates the risk of accidentally discharging the firearm while climbing over the fence and also prevents the firearm from getting caught on the fence. Option A is incorrect because climbing over a fence while holding a firearm can be dangerous and lead to accidental discharge. Option C is incorrect because throwing a firearm can also result in accidental discharge and damage to the firearm. Option D is incorrect because crossing at the highest point may require more physical exertion and can also be risky.
