What factor is crucial for making a clean kill?

Using the most powerful firearm
Being as close to the game as possible
Choosing the proper ammunition and shot placement
Hunting only during the late hours

The correct answer is: Choosing the proper ammunition and shot placement

Using the most powerful firearm may seem like a logical option, but it can actually do more harm than good. It can cause excessive damage to the animal, leading to unnecessary suffering. Similarly, being extremely close to the game can also result in poor shot placement and increase the chances of a wounded animal. Hunting during late hours may affect visibility and accuracy. Therefore, the crucial factor for making a clean kill is selecting the appropriate ammunition and ensuring proper placement of shots.
