Which of the following is true about alcohol and hunting?

Alcohol can be consumed as long as it's not during the actual act of hunting
A small amount of alcohol improves aim
Alcohol should not be consumed before or during hunting
It's safe to drink alcohol after setting up your hunting camp but before hunting

The correct answer is: Alcohol should not be consumed before or during hunting

Consuming alcohol before or during hunting can impair judgement and coordination, which can lead to dangerous situations for both the hunter and others in the nearby area. Even a small amount of alcohol can have negative effects on a hunter's ability to accurately and safely handle firearms. Option A is incorrect because consuming alcohol at any point during a hunting trip is not recommended. Option B is incorrect because alcohol does not improve aim, but rather impairs it. Option D is incorrect because even if drinking occurs after setting up camp, there is still a risk of the effects of alcohol impacting the hunt the following day. It is always best to refrain from consuming alcohol during a hunting trip.
