When walking single file with two other hunters, how should the center hunter carry their firearm?

Pointing at the hunter ahead
Ready to shoot at any moment
With the muzzle facing down
Cradle carry to the side

The correct answer is: Cradle carry to the side

When walking single file with two other hunters, the center hunter should carry their firearm in a cradle position to the side. This allows for safe and controlled handling of the firearm while also providing space for the other hunters on either side. Option A, pointing at the hunter ahead, could be dangerous as it puts the other hunter at risk of being hit by the firearm's muzzle. Option B, ready to shoot at any moment, is incorrect as it goes against basic firearm safety rules. Option C, with the muzzle facing down, is also incorrect as it can still be a safety hazard in case of accidental discharge. Option D, cradle carry to the side, is the recommended method for walking in a group while hunting. This way, the firearm is safely pointed away from others and the hunter has better control over it.
