If three hunters are walking side by side, which carry should the middle hunter use?

The trail carry
The sling carry
The ready carry
The shoulder carry

The correct answer is: The trail carry

When walking with multiple hunters, the best method for the middle hunter to carry their gun is the trail carry. This is because when carrying a rifle, it is safest to always keep it pointed in a safe direction, which is towards the ground. With the trail carry, the barrel of the gun is pointed down towards the ground, reducing the risk of any accidental discharge. The other carry methods mentioned all involve having the barrel of the gun pointed upwards or curved, which can be dangerous. The sling carry, ready carry, and shoulder carry are all incorrect options for this situation and can put the hunters at risk.
