What is the best practice while hunting from a boat?

Always stand when shooting.
Use the largest firearm to ensure stability.
Wear a personal flotation device.
Fire in the direction of travel.

The correct answer is: Wear a personal flotation device.

Wearing a personal flotation device (PFD) is the best practice while hunting from a boat because it ensures safety and may prevent drowning in case of an accident or fall. PFDs are designed to keep a person's head above water and may also provide insulation against the cold during hunting trips. Option A is incorrect because standing while shooting from a moving boat can increase the chances of losing balance and falling overboard. Option B is incorrect because using a larger firearm for stability can be dangerous and cause injury. Option D is incorrect because firing in the direction of travel can be unsafe as it may cause the boat to veer off course or result in a dangerous ricochet. Wearing a PFD is always the recommended best practice while hunting from a boat.
