What is the purpose of hunting laws and regulations?

  1. To make hunting more challenging

  2. To ensure fair chase and ethical standards are maintained

  3. To limit the number of hunters in the field

  4. To give wildlife officials authority over hunters

The correct answer is: To ensure fair chase and ethical standards are maintained

Hunting laws and regulations serve the purpose of maintaining fair chase and ethical standards in hunting. This means that hunters are required to follow certain rules and guidelines in order to maintain an ethical and fair approach to hunting. These laws also help to prevent over-hunting and preserve wildlife populations. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because challenging hunting, limiting the number of hunters, and giving authority to officials are not the primary purposes of hunting laws and regulations.
