What should you do before firing your gun at game?

Yell to scare other animals away
Make sure of your target and what is beyond
Shoot quickly before it moves
Fire a warning shot

The correct answer is: Make sure of your target and what is beyond

It is important to always be aware of your surroundings while hunting and know your target and what is beyond it before pulling the trigger. Yelling to scare other animals away is not a safe or ethical option as it can potentially cause harm to other wildlife in the area. Shooting quickly before the game moves is also not a responsible course of action as it may lead to an inaccurate shot and potential injury or death to the animal. Similarly, firing a warning shot is not recommended as it can cause harm to other animals and may also suggest that you are not following proper hunting safety guidelines. It is always important to prioritize safety and responsibility when handling firearms, especially while hunting. Always make sure of your target and what is beyond before firing your gun at game.
