What is the best way to ensure you are targeting the correct game species?

Guessing the species from a distance
Asking a fellow hunter
Positively identifying the target before shooting
Shooting and verifying afterwards

The correct answer is: Positively identifying the target before shooting

The best way to ensure you are targeting the correct game species is by positively identifying the target before shooting. Option A and D are incorrect because guessing or verifying after shooting can lead to accidental shootings of non-target species or endangered animals, which can result in serious penalties. Asking a fellow hunter (option B) may provide some guidance, but the responsibility ultimately lies with the hunter to properly identify the target. Therefore, it is important to take the time to observe and positively identify the species before taking any shot.
