Which of the following practices contributes to ethical hunting?

  1. Using bait to attract game

  2. Shooting game from a moving vehicle

  3. Ensuring a quick, humane kill

  4. Taking shots at maximum range

The correct answer is: Ensuring a quick, humane kill

Ensuring a quick, humane kill is a crucial aspect of ethical hunting. It is important to prioritize the well-being of the animal being hunted and to make every effort to minimize suffering. This practice reflects respect for wildlife and responsible hunting behavior. Hunting with the goal of achieving a swift and ethical kill is essential for ethical hunting practices. Using bait to attract game and shooting game from a moving vehicle are generally considered unethical and unsportsmanlike because they provide unfair advantages to the hunter and can lead to excessive or wasteful kills. Taking shots at maximum range also increases the risk of wounding an animal without the certainty of a quick, clean kill. These practices do not align with the principles of fair chase and ethical hunting.
