What should you check FIRST before planning a hunting trip?

1. Weather conditions

2. Firearm functionality

3. Local hunting regulations

4. Availability of game

The correct answer is: Local hunting regulations

When planning a hunting trip, the first thing you should check is the local hunting regulations. This is important because hunting laws and regulations can vary significantly from one area to another. By checking the local hunting regulations first, you ensure that you are aware of any specific rules or restrictions in the area where you plan to hunt. This helps you stay compliant with the law and ensures a safe and ethical hunting experience. Checking the weather conditions, firearm functionality, and availability of game are also important factors to consider when planning a hunting trip, but they should come after you have confirmed that you are in full compliance with the local hunting regulations.
