Which practice contributes most to ethical hunting?

  1. Attempting shots beyond your effective range

  2. Ensuring a quick and humane kill

  3. Using only traditional archery equipment

  4. Hunting only trophy-sized animals

The correct answer is: Ensuring a quick and humane kill

Ethical hunting practices prioritize the quick and humane killing of animals. Attempting shots beyond one's effective range can result in wounded animals and prolonged suffering. Using only traditional archery equipment may be a personal choice, but it does not necessarily contribute to ethical hunting. Hunting solely for trophy-sized animals can also be seen as unethical, as it disregards the concept of fair chase and conservation efforts. It is important to prioritize the well-being of the animal over personal gain.
