According to safe hunting practices, what distance should you maintain from your hunting partner?

Within arms' reach
Close enough to talk easily
Far enough apart that you cannot see each other
Close enough to see each other and communicate effectively

The correct answer is: Close enough to see each other and communicate effectively

When hunting, it is important to maintain a safe distance from your hunting partner. Option A, "Within arms' reach" is too close and can be a safety hazard, especially if firearms are involved. Option B, "Close enough to talk easily" may also be too close as it can be difficult to communicate effectively while walking or moving through terrain. Option C, "Far enough apart that you cannot see each other" is too far apart and can make it difficult to coordinate and communicate with your hunting partner. Option D, "Close enough to see each other and communicate effectively" strikes a balance, providing enough distance for safety and coordination purposes.
