Question

1. when three hunters are walking in a single file with shotguns or rifles, it is acceptable for the hunter in the center to use the:

• concealed carry
• shoulder carry
• trail carry
• cradle carry to the side

1. when hunting in a tree stand you should always:

• use an approved fall arrest system when climbing in or out of the stand
• use a haul line to bring a firearm or bow up or down from the stand
• use an approved fall arrest system when hunting from the stand
• all of the above

1. to safely load or unload a firearm you should always point the muzzle in a safe direction and put the safety on if not already on:

• true
• false

Explanation:

1. The trail carry positions the firearm so its muzzle points backward, safe for the center hunter in single file (avoids pointing at front/back hunters).
2. Tree stand safety requires fall arrest systems (climbing/hunting) and haul lines for gear to prevent accidents.
3. Safe muzzle direction and using the safety are core rules for loading/unloading firearms to prevent unintended discharge.

Answer:

1. trail carry
2. all of the above
3. true
