When is it safe to shoot at a partially obscured target?

  1. When hunting big game

  2. Never

  3. If you're using a scope

  4. When you are sure it is game

The correct answer is: Never

It is never safe to shoot at a partially obscured target. Shooting at a target that is not completely visible increases the risk of injuring an animal that cannot be retrieved or harming other hunters or bystanders accidentally. It is essential for hunters to have a clear view of their target and what lies beyond it to ensure a safe and ethical shot. It is imperative to always positively identify the target and what is beyond it before taking a shot to prevent any accidents or injuries.
