When walking with two other hunters side by side, where should the hunter in the center point their gun?

  1. At the ground

  2. At the sky

  3. At the front or up

  4. At the side

The correct answer is: At the front or up

When walking with two other hunters side by side, it is important for the hunter in the center to point their gun towards the front or at an upward angle. Pointing the gun at the ground (option A) or at the side (option D) can lead to accidental discharge or unintended targets being hit. While it may seem logical to point the gun at the sky (option B), this can be dangerous as well as stray bullets can come back down to the ground and potentially harm someone. Therefore, it is safest for the hunter in the center to point their gun towards the front or upwards.
