What does 'ethical hunting' mean?

  1. Hunting without a license

  2. Taking more game than the legal limit

  3. Following the laws and hunting in a fair chase manner

  4. Hunting only endangered species

The correct answer is: Following the laws and hunting in a fair chase manner

Ethical hunting means following laws and hunting in a fair chase manner. This means that a hunter must obtain the proper licenses, hunt during designated seasons, and follow regulations such as bag limits. The other options are incorrect because they go against the laws and regulations set in place to protect wildlife and preserve populations. Hunting without a license or taking more game than the legal limit are both illegal and can result in fines and penalties. Hunting only endangered species is also illegal and goes against the principles of ethical hunting, which involves responsible harvesting of sustainable populations.
