When is it safe to use a full choke and larger shot?

When hunting small, fast game
For larger game at closer ranges
At any time, regardless of the game
When hunting game at longer distances

The correct answer is: When hunting game at longer distances

When hunting smaller, faster game or larger game at closer ranges, you run the risk of damaging the meat or feathers of the animal with a tighter pattern from a full choke and larger shot. It is best to use a full choke and larger shot when hunting game at longer distances, as the tight pattern will ensure a cleaner and more effective kill shot. Additionally, it is important to consider the type of game being hunted and the desired shot placement when selecting the appropriate choke and shot combination.
