Wisconsin Hunter's Safety Practice Exam

What are the main causes of hunting incidents?

1. Erratic weather conditions and poor visibility

2. Lack of hunting licenses and equipment failure

3. Hunter judgment mistakes, safety rule violations, lack of practice, mechanical failure

4. Unfamiliar terrain and sudden animal behavior

The correct answer is: Hunter judgment mistakes, safety rule violations, lack of practice, mechanical failure

Hunter judgment mistakes, safety rule violations, lack of practice, and mechanical failure are the main causes of hunting incidents. This is because they involve the actions and decisions of the hunter, as well as their level of preparedness. Erratic weather conditions and poor visibility (A) may contribute to accidents, but they are not the main causes. Lack of hunting licenses and equipment failure (B) may also contribute, but they are not related to the actions and decisions of the hunter. Unfamiliar terrain and sudden animal behavior (D) may present challenges, but they are also not directly caused by the hunter. Thus, C is the most accurate and specific answer.
