What is crucial for ensuring a quick, clean, and ethical kill when hunting?

Shooting from a moving vehicle
Shooting at maximum range
Knowing your firearm's effective range
Using the largest caliber available

The correct answer is: Knowing your firearm's effective range

It is important to know your firearm's effective range in order to ensure a quick, clean, and ethical kill when hunting. Shooting from a moving vehicle is extremely dangerous and not a recommended or ethical hunting practice. Shooting at maximum range can result in an inaccurate shot, which can cause unnecessary pain and suffering for the animal. Using the largest caliber available may seem like it would result in a quicker kill, but it can also cause excessive damage to the animal's body and is not necessary if you know your firearm's effective range.
