Before firing at a moving target, you must identify:

  1. The species of the animal

  2. The gender of the animal

  3. What is in front of and beyond the target

  4. Both A and C

The correct answer is: Both A and C

It is important to not only identify the species of the animal, but also consider what is in front of and beyond the target before firing. This is because there may be other animals or objects in the line of fire that could accidentally be hit. Additionally, knowing the species of the animal can help determine whether or not it is safe and legal to hunt. Gender is not typically a relevant factor when it comes to hunting. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
