Why is it important for hunters to positively identify their target before shooting?

To ensure the target is within range
To guarantee trophy quality
To increase the challenge of the hunt
To prevent accidents and illegal kills

The correct answer is: To prevent accidents and illegal kills

It is important for hunters to positively identify their target before shooting to prevent accidents and illegal kills. By ensuring they are firing at the intended animal, hunters can avoid harming non-game species, protected animals, or even other hunters or individuals. Proper identification helps maintain ethical hunting practices and contributes to wildlife conservation efforts. By ruling out the other options, we can see that option D is the most critical reason for this practice.
