What is the 'zone-of-fire'?

  1. An area where it's legal to set up camp

  2. The area a hunter is covering while watching for game

  3. The distance a bullet or arrow can travel

  4. A method of cooking game over an open flame

The correct answer is: The area a hunter is covering while watching for game

The 'zone-of-fire' is defined as the area that a hunter is actively aiming and ready to shoot in while searching for game. Option A is incorrect because the legality of setting up camp may vary depending on the specific location and regulations. Option C is incorrect because the distance a bullet or arrow can travel may exceed the 'zone-of-fire' and could potentially result in unsafe hunting practices. Option D is incorrect because while cooking game over an open flame may happen within the 'zone-of-fire,' it is not the definition of this term.
