Before firing at game, what should a hunter positively identify?

  1. The species of the game

  2. The gender of the game

  3. The age of the game

  4. Both A and B

The correct answer is: Both A and B

A hunter should positively identify both the species and gender of the game before firing. It is important to be aware of the species as it may be protected or restricted for hunting in certain areas. Knowing the gender is also important as regulations may differ for hunting males and females. Age should also be considered, but it is less critical than identifying the species and gender. In some cases, age may also be difficult to determine visually. Therefore, identifying both the species and gender is the most important factor to consider before firing at game.
