When is it safe to shoot at a partially obscured target?

  1. When you are sure it is legal game

  2. Never

  3. When you believe it is game

  4. After making noise to see if it moves

The correct answer is: Never

While it may be tempting to shoot at a partially obscured target, it is never safe to do so. Not only is it against hunting ethics to shoot at a target you cannot clearly see, but there is also a potential risk of harming someone or something unintentionally. It is important to have a clear and unobstructed view of your target before taking any shot. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Options A and C may seem like viable options, but they are not safe practices. Option D is simply not a logical or safe approach to shooting at a target.
