Why should hunters avoid alcohol and drugs before or during a hunt?

  1. They can dampen the excitement of the hunt

  2. They are not as effective as caffeine in keeping you awake

  3. They impair judgment and coordination

  4. They can attract wild animals

The correct answer is: They impair judgment and coordination

Hunters should avoid alcohol and drugs before and during a hunt because they can impair judgment and coordination. Alcohol and drugs can affect a person's ability to make clear decisions and perform physical tasks effectively, which are crucial for a successful and safe hunting experience. In addition, being under the influence of alcohol or drugs can put both the hunter and those around them at risk. Options A and B are incorrect because they focus on the personal experience of the hunter rather than the potential danger to themselves and others. Option D is also incorrect because there is no evidence to suggest that wild animals are attracted to alcohol or drugs. Therefore, option C is the best answer.
