Which best practice contributes to conservation efforts?

  1. Hunting only large trophy animals

  2. Obeying game laws and harvesting within legal limits

  3. Using lead-based ammunition to ensure quick kills

  4. Avoiding hunting on public lands

The correct answer is: Obeying game laws and harvesting within legal limits

Obeying game laws and harvesting within legal limits is the best practice that contributes to conservation efforts. Hunting only large trophy animals (A) can lead to a depletion of certain species, as well as disrupting the balance of ecosystems. Using lead-based ammunition (C) can harm wildlife and contaminate the environment. Avoiding hunting on public lands (D) can limit access to hunting opportunities and also hinder conservation efforts by not allowing responsible hunters to manage animal populations. It is important to obey game laws and harvest within legal limits to ensure sustainable hunting practices and support conservation efforts.
