How can you show respect for natural resources while hunting?

By leaving the area exactly as you found it, utilizing fair chase principles, and harvesting game animals in a humane manner
Collecting souvenirs such as antlers, skulls, and native plants
Creating new trails with off-road vehicles
Littering and marking trees for later identification

The correct answer is: By leaving the area exactly as you found it, utilizing fair chase principles, and harvesting game animals in a humane manner

Hunting should be done in a responsible and ethical way that shows respect for natural resources. Option A is the best choice as it involves leaving the area as you found it, which means not damaging the environment or disrupting the ecosystem. Utilizing fair chase principles also ensures that the hunt is done in an ethical and sustainable manner. Harvesting game animals in a humane manner means minimizing suffering and using as much of the animal as possible. Option B, collecting souvenirs, goes against the principle of leaving the area as you found it and can also be harmful to wildlife populations if too many are taken. Option C, creating new trails with off-road vehicles, can cause damage to the environment and disturb wildlife habitats. Option D, littering and marking trees, is harmful to the environment and shows a lack of respect for nature.
