What is the safest position for two hunters who are duck hunting in a boat?

  1. Side by side

  2. One in front, one in back

  3. Back to back

  4. No specific position is safest

The correct answer is: Back to back

Two hunters who are duck hunting in a boat should position themselves back to back. This is the safest option as it minimizes the risk of accidentally shooting one another. If they were to sit side by side, there would be a greater chance of one of them turning and unintentionally pointing their gun at the other person. If one hunter were to sit in front and the other in the back, there is a risk of the person in the back shooting over the other's head. Sitting back to back ensures that both hunters have a clear line of sight and significantly reduces the risk of a accidental shooting. Option D is also incorrect, as there is a specific position that is safest for two hunters in a boat while duck hunting.
