What does a responsible hunter do with harvested game?

  1. Takes only trophy parts

  2. Leaves it in the field if it is small

  3. Utilizes as much of the animal as possible

  4. Only takes photos of the animal

The correct answer is: Utilizes as much of the animal as possible

A responsible hunter does not take only trophy parts because it is wasteful and unsustainable. This option refers to keeping only the most desirable parts of the animal and leaving the rest behind. Leaving harvested game in the field if it is small is also not a responsible option. This could lead to unnecessary suffering for the animal and is not respectful of the animal's life. Only taking photos of the animal is a form of respectful and sustainable hunting, but it does not fulfill the ethical duty of utilizing the animal's meat and other resources. Therefore, C is the most responsible and ethical option.
