What action should you take if you come across a sign of a threatened or endangered species in your hunting area?

  1. Notify the nearest wildlife office

  2. Continue hunting as usual

  3. Try to capture photographic evidence

  4. Leave bait to attract the species

The correct answer is: Notify the nearest wildlife office

Finding a sign of a threatened or endangered species in your hunting area should be taken seriously. Option B, continuing hunting as usual, would pose a danger to the already threatened or endangered species. Option C, capturing photographic evidence, would also pose a risk to the species and their habitat. Similarly, option D, leaving bait to attract the species, would disturb the natural balance of the species and their ecosystem. Therefore, option A, notifying the nearest wildlife office, is the most responsible and appropriate action to take when encountering a sign of a threatened or endangered species in your hunting area. This allows the proper authorities to assess the situation and take necessary actions to protect the species and their habitat.
