When is it safe to shoot at a partially obscured target?

  1. When you are in a hurry

  2. When the target is a big game animal

  3. Never, you must always clearly see and identify your target

  4. When hunting in a densely wooded area

The correct answer is: Never, you must always clearly see and identify your target

When hunting, it is crucial to always clearly see and identify your target before shooting. Shooting at a partially obscured target can result in accidents such as hitting unintended targets or individuals. Clear visibility ensures that you are shooting at what you intend to shoot, minimizing the risk of causing harm to others or breaking hunting regulations. Therefore, option C is the correct choice as it emphasizes the fundamental hunter safety principle of positively identifying your target before taking a shot.
