What is the primary purpose of hunter education?

  1. To improve hunting skills

  2. To ensure the tradition of hunting continues

  3. To teach safe, responsible, and ethical hunting

  4. To increase hunting license sales

The correct answer is: To teach safe, responsible, and ethical hunting

Hunter education aims to teach safe, responsible, and ethical hunting practices. Option A is incorrect because improving hunting skills is not the primary purpose of hunter education. Option B is incorrect because while preserving the tradition of hunting may be a secondary objective, it is not the primary purpose. Additionally, option D is incorrect because while hunting license sales may increase as a result of more people completing hunter education, it is not the main reason for offering hunter education programs. Therefore, the primary purpose of hunter education is to teach individuals how to hunt safely, responsibly, and ethically.
