Texas Hunter Education Certification Practice Exam

Which action contributes to wildlife conservation?

1. Purchasing hunting licenses

2. Feeding wildlife

3. Using lead ammunition

4. Hunting during closed seasons

The correct answer is: Purchasing hunting licenses

Purchasing hunting licenses contributes to wildlife conservation because the revenue generated from hunting licenses is used to maintain forests, wetlands, and various habitats that are essential for wildlife populations to thrive. This revenue also supports scientific research and conservation programs to protect endangered species and their habitats. Choosing options B, C, or D would not contribute to wildlife conservation. Feeding wildlife can disrupt their natural feeding habits and lead to an imbalance in their population. Using lead ammunition can be harmful to wildlife and the environment. Hunting during closed seasons or without a license is illegal and can lead to negative consequences for wildlife populations.
