When should a hunter wear hearing protection?

Only during target practice
At all times while hunting
Only in closed environments
When using high-caliber firearms

The correct answer is: At all times while hunting

Hunters should wear hearing protection at all times while hunting because exposure to loud gunshots can cause permanent damage to their hearing. Even if a hunter is not actively shooting a firearm, being in close proximity to others who are shooting can still pose a risk to their ears. Therefore, it is important for hunters to prioritize wearing hearing protection consistently to prevent any long-term hearing loss or damage. The other options are not as comprehensive or accurate in ensuring the protection of the hunter's hearing in various hunting situations.
