Pennsylvania Hunter-Trapper Education Course Practice Exam

Which of the following safety measures should be taken when hunting alone?

1. Carry a whistle

2. Inform someone of your hunting location and return time

3. Bring extra supplies

4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

If you are hunting alone, you should always carry a whistle, inform someone of your hunting location and return time, and bring extra supplies. These measures are important for ensuring your safety while hunting. While option A and B are good individual precautions to take, they do not cover all potential safety concerns. For example, carrying a whistle can help you call for help if you get injured or lost, but it does not ensure that someone knows where to find you. Similarly, informing someone of your location and return time is important, but it does not guarantee that you will have enough supplies in case of unforeseen circumstances. Option C may seem like a good precaution, but it is not sufficient on its own. Therefore, taking all of the above measures is the safest and most responsible choice when hunting alone.
