Which of the following actions is recommended when hunting near populated areas?

Notify local authorities about your hunting plans
Wear camouflage only
Avoid wearing blaze orange for stealth
Ensure there is a safe backstop for shooting

The correct answer is: Ensure there is a safe backstop for shooting

Hunting near populated areas requires extra caution and consideration. While wearing camouflage is necessary for blending into the environment, it is not recommended to rely solely on this as a safety measure. Similarly, avoiding wearing blaze orange may seem like a good way to stay hidden, but this can actually put you at risk of being mistaken for game by other hunters. It is important to alert local authorities about your hunting plans so they are aware and can address any concerns or potential hazards. However, the most crucial action to take when hunting near populated areas is to ensure there is a safe backstop for shooting. This means having a good understanding of your target and what lies beyond it, as well as having a designated shooting area that is away from any homes or people. By doing so, you can minimize the risk of any accidents or injuries.
