Question

why must you learn to recognize key characteristics of the animal youre hunting? a to avoid illegally harvesting non - game animals b to tag a harvested animal properly c to make sure you limit out d to receive a hunting license

Explanation:

Recognizing key characteristics of the animal being hunted helps in distinguishing game animals from non - game animals. Non - game animals are often protected by law, and harvesting them illegally can lead to legal consequences. Tagging a harvested animal properly (B) is more about post - harvest procedures and not the main reason for recognizing characteristics. "Limit out" (C) is about reaching the maximum number of a particular game animal allowed to be harvested, which is not directly related to recognizing animal characteristics. Receiving a hunting license (D) is a prerequisite for hunting in general and not related to recognizing the characteristics of the specific animal being hunted.

Answer:

A. to avoid illegally harvesting non - game animals
