Georgia Hunter Education Course Practice Exam

How often should hunting equipment be checked for wear and tear?

1. Before every hunting trip

2. Once a year

3. Every 5 years

4. Only when a malfunction occurs

The correct answer is: Before every hunting trip

Hunting equipment should be checked for wear and tear before every hunting trip because regular maintenance and inspection help ensure that the gear is functioning properly and safely. Waiting for a malfunction to occur before checking the equipment could lead to accidents or other issues while hunting. Therefore, it is important to make it a habit to inspect your gear before each outing to prevent any potential problems that may arise.
