When can a hunter be justified in taking a shot at game?

  1. When the game is within range and the background is safe

  2. When the game is moving fast

  3. Just before sunset to avoid detection

  4. Whenever the game is spotted

The correct answer is: When the game is within range and the background is safe

A hunter can be justified in taking a shot at game when the game is within range and the background is safe. This means that the hunter must be able to accurately and ethically take down the game, and must also consider the safety of the surrounding area and any other people or animals that may be present. Options B and C are incorrect because they do not consider the safety and ethical aspects of hunting. Option D is incorrect because the hunter should make a conscious and informed decision before taking a shot, rather than just shooting whenever the game is spotted.
