When should a hunter obtain permission to hunt on private land?

1. After hunting

2. Before hunting

3. Only if they harvest game

4. It is not necessary

The correct answer is: Before hunting

Hunters should obtain permission to hunt on private land before they begin hunting. This is not only proper etiquette, but it is also essential for safety reasons and to respect the landowner's rights. By obtaining permission before hunting, hunters can ensure that they have the landowner's consent to be on the property and can also receive any specific instructions or restrictions regarding the land. This practice helps promote positive relationships between hunters and landowners and demonstrates responsible hunting behavior.
