Texas Hunter Education Certification Practice Exam

Which of the following is considered a safe practice when hunting?

1. Shooting at water surfaces

2. Identifying your target beyond all doubt before shooting

3. Using alcohol or drugs before or during hunting

4. Hunting alone

The correct answer is: Identifying your target beyond all doubt before shooting

Shooting at water surfaces is incorrect because it can result in accidental shooting of an animal or person hidden beneath the surface. Using alcohol or drugs before or during hunting is incorrect because it impairs judgment and can lead to dangerous situations. Hunting alone is incorrect because it is safer to have a hunting partner who can help in case of an emergency. Identifying your target beyond all doubt before shooting is the safest practice while hunting because it ensures that you are shooting at the intended target and not accidentally harming any person or animal.
