What is the main purpose of hunter education?

  1. To promote firearms sales

  2. To ensure hunters are ready for the season

  3. To improve hunting skills

  4. To reduce hunting accidents and violations

The correct answer is: To reduce hunting accidents and violations

Hunting involves the use of weapons and in some cases, it can be a dangerous activity. Therefore, the main purpose of hunter education is to ensure the safety of both hunters and non-hunters. Option A, promoting firearm sales, is not the main purpose of hunter education as it focuses on safety rather than sales. Option B, ensuring hunters are ready for the season, is not the main purpose as the education also covers aspects of safety and ethical hunting. Option C, improving hunting skills, may be a desired outcome of hunter education, but it is not the primary purpose as the focus is on safety and responsibility. Thus, the correct answer is D, to reduce hunting accidents and violations.
