Question 4

A true sportsman follows ethical hunting practices, which include minimizing the animal's suffering. The other options (firing immediately, crippling, wounding) go against ethical hunting by causing unnecessary harm.

In hunting large game like deer and antelope, a broadside shot (where the animal is facing perpendicular to the hunter) is most effective as it targets vital organs. Quartering away/ toward and head - on shots are less effective or risk - prone.

When approaching a downed large animal, pausing above and behind the head to watch for chest movement is safe (to check if the animal is truly dead). Approaching from the front, making noise, or running up randomly can be dangerous if the animal is only stunned.

D. cause the minimal amount of suffering to
