Which of the following is NOT a recommended safety practice when hunting?

  1. Wearing hunter orange

  2. Mixing alcohol and hunting

  3. Using a safety harness in a tree stand

  4. Informing someone of your hunting plan

The correct answer is: Mixing alcohol and hunting

Mixing alcohol and hunting is NOT a recommended safety practice when hunting because alcohol impairs judgment, coordination, and reaction time, increasing the likelihood of accidents and endangering oneself and others. It is crucial to always hunt with a clear mind to ensure the safety of everyone involved. The other options, wearing hunter orange, using a safety harness in a tree stand, and informing someone of your hunting plan, are all recommended safety practices to prevent accidents and promote a safe hunting experience.
