Colorado Hunter Education Practice Exam

What is the first thing a hunter should do upon returning from a hunt?

1. Tell stories about their hunting prowess

2. Unload their firearm

3. Clean their game in the living room

4. Host a party to celebrate the hunt

The correct answer is: Unload their firearm

Upon returning from a hunt, the first thing a hunter should do is unload their firearm. This is for both safety reasons and to prevent accidents or injuries. Option A is incorrect because although hunters may want to share their stories with others, it is important to prioritize safety and proper handling of firearms. Option C is incorrect because cleaning game should be done in a designated area, not in a common living space. Option D is incorrect because it is not appropriate to celebrate a hunt with a party before properly unloading and storing all firearms. Overall, it is essential for hunters to prioritize safety and proper handling of firearms before engaging in other activities.
