What is the primary objective of hunter education?

  1. Promote hunting activities

  2. Teach outdoor skills

  3. Ensure the safety of hunters

  4. Increase wildlife populations

The correct answer is: Ensure the safety of hunters

Hunting activities and teaching outdoor skills are secondary objectives of hunter education. The main purpose of hunter education is to ensure the safety of hunters and those around them by teaching them proper firearm handling, hunting techniques, and safety protocols. Increasing wildlife populations may be a desired outcome, but it is not the primary objective of hunter education.
