When hunting in a group, it's important to:

  1. Use hand signals instead of verbal communication

  2. Stay within arm's reach of each other

  3. Plan and agree on each person's shooting zone

  4. Make as much noise as possible to alert game

The correct answer is: Plan and agree on each person's shooting zone

When hunting in a group, it's essential to plan and agree on each person's shooting zone to ensure the safety of everyone involved. This practice helps avoid any accidental shootings or confusion about target locations. By establishing designated shooting zones, each member knows where it is safe to shoot and can avoid causing harm to others in the group. This communication and coordination are crucial for a successful and safe hunting experience. Using hand signals instead of verbal communication (Option A) can be helpful in some situations, but they should not replace clear verbal communication when hunting in a group. Staying within arm's reach of each other (Option B) is not recommended as it can increase the risk of accidental shootings. Making as much noise as possible to alert game (Option D) is not safe as it can also alert other hunters in the area, leading to potential accidents.
