Which of the following best describes 'field dressing'?

  1. Decorating the hunting field

  2. Cleaning and cooling the animal as quickly as possible

  3. Packing your gear for a day in the field

  4. Setting up decoys

The correct answer is: Cleaning and cooling the animal as quickly as possible

Field dressing is the process of quickly cleaning and cooling an animal after it has been killed during hunting. This helps to preserve the meat and prevent it from spoiling. Option A is incorrect because it is referring to the actual hunting area, not the animal itself. Option C is not related to hunting or game preparation at all. Finally, option D is incorrect because it is referring to setting up decoys to attract animals, not dressing the animal after it has been killed.
