When hunting near water, what is critical to ensuring safety?

Wearing a life jacket
Carrying a waterproof gun case
Using non-electric weaponry
Avoiding the use of decoys

The correct answer is: Wearing a life jacket

When hunting near water, wearing a life jacket is critical to ensuring safety. Accidents can happen unexpectedly, and having a life jacket on can potentially save a hunter from drowning in case of falling into the water. It provides buoyancy and keeps the hunter afloat until help arrives. The other options, such as carrying a waterproof gun case, using non-electric weaponry, and avoiding the use of decoys are important but not as critical to safety as wearing a life jacket when hunting near water.
