What is one of the four main causes of hunting incidents?

  1. Failure to control emotions

  2. Use of non-lead ammunition

  3. Lack of practice

  4. Hunter judgment mistakes

The correct answer is: Hunter judgment mistakes

One of the four main causes of hunting incidents is failure to control emotions. This may include getting too excited and not properly identifying the target, resulting in mistaken target accidents. Option A, B, and C are not correct because they are not among the four main causes of hunting incidents. These options may contribute to hunting incidents, but they are not considered one of the main causes. Option D, on the other hand, is a key factor in hunting incidents as it includes errors in making decisions and assessing the situation, which can ultimately lead to accidents.
