How should you dispose of unwanted parts of game animals?

  1. Leave them in the open as a sign of a successful hunt.

  2. Dispose of them in a water body nearby.

  3. Bury or leave them well away from camp and trails.

  4. Burn them in your campfire.

The correct answer is: Bury or leave them well away from camp and trails.

Unwanted parts of game animals should be disposed of safely and responsibly. Leaving them in the open (option A) could attract predators or scavengers, leading to potential conflicts with other hunters or hikers. Disposing of them in a water body (option B) could contaminate the water and harm local wildlife. Burning them in a campfire (option D) also poses a risk of spreading diseases or creating a wildfire. Burying or leaving them well away from camp and trails (option C) is the most appropriate option to prevent any negative impacts on the environment and other people.
