Wisconsin Hunter's Safety Practice Exam 2025 – All-in-One Guide to Mastering Your Certification!

Question: 1 / 400

Which behavior, among the listed choices, should a hunter walking single file adopt with their firearm?

Keep the firearm pointed at the back hunter

Carry the firearm in a ready position

Carry the firearm with the muzzle pointed up

Cradle carry the firearm to the side

A) Keeping the firearm pointed at the back hunter could potentially lead to a dangerous situation if the hunter in front were to trip or stumble.

B) Carrying the firearm in a ready position, where the muzzle is pointed towards the ground, may not provide enough time to react in case of an accidental discharge.

C) Carrying the firearm with the muzzle pointed up could lead to potential harm if the hunter were to slip and fall, as the muzzle could easily be pointed at other hunters.

Therefore, cradle carry, where the firearm is carried to the side with the muzzle pointed down and the barrel parallel to the ground, is the safest behavior for a hunter walking single file. This way, the firearm is securely held, away from other hunters, and can be quickly repositioned in case of an accidental discharge.
