Which is a sign that a hunter is displaying responsible behavior?

Using the most powerful ammunition available
Leaving the action of their firearm open when not in use
Only wearing blaze orange when hunting in a group
Not bothering to identify the species before shooting

The correct answer is: Leaving the action of their firearm open when not in use

A Using the most powerful ammunition available is incorrect because this can actually be dangerous and potentially harm the animal being hunted beyond what is necessary for a clean and ethical kill. B: Leaving the action of their firearm open when not in use is the correct answer because it shows that the hunter is practicing proper gun safety and preventing any accidental discharges. C: Only wearing blaze orange when hunting in a group is incorrect because hunters should always wear blaze orange regardless of whether they are hunting alone or in a group to increase visibility and safety. D: Not bothering to identify the species before shooting is incorrect because this can lead to shooting the wrong animal, which goes against ethical hunting principles. Responsible hunters always make sure to correctly identify their target before taking a shot.
