Which practice helps ensure that you are hunting legal game each trip?

• A. Learn about your quarry
• B. Check social media for tips
• C. Carry unregistered game
• D. Ignore season dates

Answer: (A)

Knowing what you’re hunting and the rules that apply to it helps you stay within legal harvest boundaries. When you learn about your quarry, you can correctly identify the species and recognize look-alikes, understand what is legal to take in your area, and know the season dates, daily or bag limits, and any weapon or licensing requirements. This preparedness lets you verify that your target is legal to harvest before you shoot and ensures you’re following current regulations on where and how you may take animals. Relying on tips from social media can be unreliable or outdated, carrying unregistered game is illegal, and ignoring season dates directly violates the law and wildlife management rules.
