The correct answer is: Cover or bury them away from water and trails

Properly disposing of the remains of a field-dressed game animal is an important part of being a responsible hunter.

Option B is also incorrect because leaving the remains on the trail can be unsightly and potentially attract predators.

Option D is the correct answer as it ensures that the remains are properly covered or buried away from water and trails, minimizing any negative impact on the environment.
