Which of the following is an unsafe practice while hunting?

  1. Following game trails

  2. Shooting at water or flat, hard surfaces

  3. Wearing ear protection while shooting

  4. Carrying a field dressing kit

The correct answer is: Shooting at water or flat, hard surfaces

Shooting at water or flat, hard surfaces is an unsafe practice while hunting because bullets can ricochet off these surfaces unpredictably and potentially cause harm to yourself or others. It is essential to always be aware of your surroundings and what is beyond your target to ensure a safe hunting experience. Following game trails, wearing ear protection while shooting, and carrying a field dressing kit are all safe and responsible practices while hunting.
