Colorado Hunter Education Practice Exam

What should hunters do with the meat from their game?

1. Donate all of it to charity

2. Leave it in the field

3. Utilize as much as possible

4. Only take the trophy parts

The correct answer is: Utilize as much as possible

Hunters should utilize as much of the meat from their game as possible for several reasons. Firstly, leaving the meat in the field (option B) is wasteful and disrespectful to the animal that was killed for sustenance. Additionally, taking only the trophy parts (option D) goes against the ethical practice of hunting for sustenance and conservation. Donating all of the meat to charity (option A) may not always be feasible or preferred by the hunter, as they may have plans to use the meat for themselves or their families. Therefore, utilizing as much of the meat as possible (option C) is the best option. This includes properly processing and storing the meat for consumption or utilizing non-edible parts for other purposes, such as making leather or bone crafts. Overall, it is important for hunters to be responsible and ethical in their use of the animals they hunt.
