Pennsylvania Hunter-Trapper Education Course Practice Exam

The first step in the cycle of responsibility for a hunter is to prepare for the hunt. This involves familiarizing oneself with the laws and regulations pertaining to hunting, obtaining necessary permits and licenses, and ensuring that equipment is in proper working condition. Taking the shot, identifying the game, and reporting the harvest all come after this initial preparation. Taking the shot without proper preparation can result in unsafe hunting practices and even legal consequences. Identifying the game and reporting the harvest are important steps in responsible hunting, but they cannot be properly executed without first preparing for the hunt.
