Question: 1 / 400

When hunting, how can you ensure you are targeting legal game?

Shoot first, identify later

Use binoculars to identify the game before shooting

When hunting, it is not safe or ethical to shoot at any animal without first identifying it as legal game. Option A, shooting first and identifying later, is a dangerous and irresponsible approach that can lead to accidental harm to humans or other animals. Following other hunters, option C, may help you locate game, but does not guarantee you will correctly identify legal game. Similarly, listening for game sounds, option D, may assist in locating animals, but does not replace the need for proper identification. Option B, using binoculars to identify game before shooting, is the safest and most reliable method for ensuring you are targeting legal game while hunting. This allows you to carefully observe and identify the animal before taking a shot.
