What is meant by 'safe zone-of-fire'?

Area where the hunter has direct control
The range within which a hunter can safely shoot
A specially designated hunting area
The safe distance between hunting blinds

The correct answer is: The range within which a hunter can safely shoot

The term 'safe zone-of-fire' refers to the range within which a hunter can safely shoot. This concept emphasizes that hunters must be fully aware of their surroundings, including other hunters, buildings, roads, and livestock, before taking a shot. It is crucial for hunters to know what is in their line of fire and what is behind their target to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of themselves and others. Option A is incorrect as the safe zone-of-fire is not just about the area under the hunter's direct control, but rather the area where it is safe to shoot. Option C is incorrect as a safe zone-of-fire is not limited to a specially designated hunting area. Option D is incorrect as the safe zone-of-fire is not about the distance between hunting blinds but rather the safe shooting range for a hunter.
