Which of the following is NOT a recommended safety practice when hunting?

  1. Carrying loaded firearms in a vehicle

  2. Wearing blaze orange

  3. Knowing your target and what is beyond it

  4. Keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction

The correct answer is: Carrying loaded firearms in a vehicle

Carrying loaded firearms in a vehicle is not a recommended safety practice when hunting because it poses a significant risk of accidental discharge, potentially causing harm to yourself or others in the vehicle. It is crucial to always handle firearms with care and follow proper safety procedures, including never loading a firearm until you are ready to use it in a safe and appropriate manner. Wearing blaze orange, knowing your target and what is beyond it, and keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction are all essential safety practices to follow when hunting to minimize the risk of accidents and ensure a safe hunting experience.
