Which of the following best practices ensures ethical hunting?

Shooting game animals in water
Hunting only for trophies
Utilizing as much of the game as possible
Taking shots at maximum range

The correct answer is: Utilizing as much of the game as possible

Hunting for trophies (option B) is unethical because it prioritizes killing for sport rather than for sustenance. Shooting game animals in water (option A) can also be unethical because it can result in a slow and painful death for the animal. Taking shots at maximum range (option D) increases the likelihood of injuring rather than cleanly killing an animal. Option C, utilizing as much of the game as possible, is the best practice for ethical hunting because it minimizes unnecessary waste and leaves a smaller impact on the animal population.
