Wisconsin Hunter's Safety Practice Exam

What characteristics describe an ethical and responsible hunter?

1. Only use the antlers of the animal

2. Avoid abiding by game laws

3. Leave the land worse than they found it

4. Use meat and usable parts of the animal, strive for a quick, clean kill, leave the land better than they found it, abide by game laws and regulations

The correct answer is: Use meat and usable parts of the animal, strive for a quick, clean kill, leave the land better than they found it, abide by game laws and regulations

An ethical and responsible hunter considers the welfare and respect for the animals they hunt and the environment they are in. Option A, only using the antlers of the animal, does not encompass the full use and consideration of the animal. Option B, avoiding abiding by game laws, goes against ethical principles and laws set in place for the preservation and sustainability of wildlife. Option C, leaving the land worse than they found it, shows a lack of respect for the environment and goes against the ethical principle of preserving nature. Therefore, the correct answer is option D, which includes using all usable parts of the animal, practicing responsible and humane hunting techniques, and leaving the land better than they found it while following game laws and regulations.
