Which of these is NOT a recommended practice for wildlife conservation?

  1. Feeding wildlife with leftovers from hunting

  2. Limiting the harvest of young animals

  3. Obeying hunting season laws

  4. Using non-lead ammunition to reduce lead poisoning in wildlife

The correct answer is: Feeding wildlife with leftovers from hunting

Feeding wildlife with leftovers from hunting is NOT a recommended practice for wildlife conservation because it can lead to dependency on human food sources, alter the natural behavior of wildlife, and cause overcrowding and disease transmission among the animals. It is important to allow wildlife to forage for their own food as part of their natural survival instincts. Limiting the harvest of young animals, obeying hunting season laws, and using non-lead ammunition to reduce lead poisoning in wildlife are all recommended practices for wildlife conservation as they help maintain sustainable populations, respect regulations set for wildlife management, and reduce harmful environmental impacts.
