What must a hunter do if they wound an animal?

Ignore it and continue hunting
Track and attempt to harvest the animal
Report the animal as a loss
Leave the area immediately

The correct answer is: Track and attempt to harvest the animal

If a hunter wounds an animal while hunting, it is their ethical responsibility to track the animal and try to harvest it. Tracking the wounded animal is essential to minimize suffering and ensure that the animal does not go to waste. Harvesting the animal also demonstrates respect for the game being pursued and completes the harvest cycle. Reporting the animal as a loss or leaving the area immediately would not be the appropriate course of action in this situation.
