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

When you are sure it is legal game and no people, structures, or domestic animals are in the line of fire
When you are hunting in a densely forested area
When the animal is moving quickly
When hunting with a group for safety

The correct answer is: When you are sure it is legal game and no people, structures, or domestic animals are in the line of fire

It is safe to shoot at a partially obscured target when you are sure it is legal game and there are no people, structures, or domestic animals in the line of fire. This means that options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not address the most important factor for safety, which is ensuring that there are no unintended targets in the line of fire. Hunting in a densely forested area, having an animal that is moving quickly, or hunting with a group for safety may not necessarily guarantee that there are no unintended targets in the line of fire, making those options unsafe. It is important to always prioritize safety and avoid taking a shot if there is any doubt about the potential for harm to others or property.
