We must be on different pages somehow. I mentioned my daughter because she is pretty much the only person I hunt with anymore. If you and I were hunting together, I would assume we would cross a short obstacle that way. It's just that alone, I am comfortable laying a loaded rifle under a fence, parallel to it, crossing, then picking it up. If I had to carry it, unload the chamber.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!
