What action should be taken if you come across a species you did not intend to hunt?

Attempt to capture it
Shoot it to avoid overpopulation
Leave it undisturbed
Report it to wildlife authorities as an invasive species

The correct answer is: Leave it undisturbed

If you come across a species you did not intend to hunt while you are out hunting, the best course of action is to leave it undisturbed. Interfering with or capturing a species you are not licensed to hunt can have negative consequences on the ecosystem and wildlife population. By leaving the species undisturbed, you are respecting the environment and allowing nature to take its course without unnecessary intervention. Reporting the sighting to wildlife authorities, as mentioned in option D, can also be a good practice to help monitor the presence of invasive species or rare wildlife in the area.
