What must a hunter do to ensure a clean kill?

  1. Aim for the largest area of the animal

  2. Only shoot when the animal is moving

  3. Use the largest caliber firearm available

  4. Be sure of the target and what is beyond it

The correct answer is: Be sure of the target and what is beyond it

To ensure a clean and ethical kill while hunting, it is crucial for the hunter to be absolutely sure of the target and what is beyond it before taking the shot. This means identifying the species, sex, and size of the animal and being aware of the surroundings to prevent any accidental injuries or property damage. This practice not only promotes safety but also ensures that the hunter takes an ethical shot that minimizes suffering for the animal.
