When hunting, why is it important to know your target and what is beyond it?

  1. To ensure the target is within the legal size

  2. To make sure you don't damage any property

  3. To prevent accidental shootings and ensure safe backstop

  4. To guarantee you can retrieve the game

The correct answer is: To prevent accidental shootings and ensure safe backstop

Knowing your target and what is beyond it is important for safety reasons. A hunter should be aware of their surroundings and potential obstacles to avoid any accidental shootings. Options A and D are incorrect because while they may be important considerations when hunting, they are not directly related to safety. Option B is incorrect because while it is important to not damage property, it is not the main reason for knowing your target and what is beyond it. Therefore, option C is the most appropriate answer as it emphasizes the importance of safety when hunting.
