What should you do immediately after shooting game?

  1. Reload your firearm

  2. Mark the location and start tracking if necessary

  3. Celebrate with your hunting party

  4. Check for other game in the area

The correct answer is: Mark the location and start tracking if necessary

After you have successfully shot a game, you immediately should mark the location and start tracking if necessary. This is important because the animal may not be immediately visible or may have run off after being shot, and it's important to track it while there is still a blood trail or visible signs of its movement. Reloading your firearm or checking for other game may be important tasks, but neither are as time-sensitive as marking the location and tracking the animal. Celebrating with your hunting party can wait until after all necessary tasks have been completed.
