When hunting, why is it important to identify your target fully before shooting?

To ensure the target is within range
To distinguish between game and non-game species
To guarantee a trophy-size animal
To calculate the distance for bullet drop

The correct answer is: To distinguish between game and non-game species

It is important to fully identify your target before shooting to avoid mistakenly shooting a non-game species, which may be protected by law. Option A is incorrect because the target may be within range, but if it is not a legal game species, it should not be shot. Option C is incorrect because the size of the animal does not determine if it is a legal game species. Option D is incorrect because bullet drop can be calculated after properly identifying the target.
