Which of the following actions should be taken when identifying your target before shooting?

  1. Guessing the target based on movement

  2. Shooting if you think it's the correct animal

  3. Waiting until you have a clear view and are sure of your target

  4. Asking another hunter to confirm the target

The correct answer is: Waiting until you have a clear view and are sure of your target

When identifying your target before shooting, it is important to wait until you have a clear view and are sure of your target. Guessing based on movement or shooting if you think it's the correct animal can lead to dangerous and potentially illegal situations. Similarly, asking another hunter to confirm the target is not a reliable method as they may also be unsure. It's important to take the time to properly identify your target in order to ensure the safety of yourself and those around you.
