Which of the following is NOT a principle of the Hunter's Code of Ethics?

  1. Respect for wildlife

  2. Maximize the number of game taken

  3. Show consideration for non-hunters

  4. Respect for property rights

The correct answer is: Maximize the number of game taken

The correct answer is B. "Maximize the number of game taken" is not a principle of the Hunter's Code of Ethics. The Hunter's Code of Ethics emphasizes responsible and ethical behavior while hunting, which includes respecting wildlife, showing consideration for non-hunters, and respecting property rights. It is essential for hunters to prioritize principles that promote conservation, sportsmanship, and respect for the environment and others, rather than solely focusing on the quantity of game harvested.
