Frage 1 von 25
What is "carrying capacity"?
- The number of hunters allowed in an area
- The weight a hunter can carry out of the bush
- The number of animals an area can support over time
- The amount of cargo space in a hunting vehicle
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: C. The number of animals an area can support over time
When a population grows past carrying capacity, habitat is damaged and animals starve or get sick.
Frage 2 von 25
Is the Canadian Firearms Safety Course the same as provincial hunter education?
- Yes, one replaces the other in every province and territory across Canada
- No, but hunter education is the federal course
- No. They are separate courses, and provinces require their own
- Yes, but only for people who hunt with a bow
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: C. No. They are separate courses, and provinces require their own
Saskatchewan and Manitoba, for example, say the CFSC does not meet their hunter education requirement.
Frage 3 von 25
Where does blaze orange do the most good?
- On a backpack, so it can be taken off
- On the back only, since other hunters usually walk behind you in the woods
- On the boots and lower legs only
- On the head and upper body, visible from all sides

Frage 4 von 25
Two hunters reach a fence. What is a safe way for them to cross?
- One person climbs over while the other covers them with a loaded firearm
- Unload both firearms; one person holds both while the other crosses, then hands them over
- Each person climbs over carefully while holding their own loaded firearm with the safety on
- Both lean their loaded firearms on the fence and climb over together
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: B. Unload both firearms; one person holds both while the other crosses, then hands them over
With both firearms unloaded and actions open, one hunter can safely hand them across to the other.
Frage 5 von 25
How should you treat frostbitten fingers?
- Rub them hard between your hands to get blood flowing
- Rewarm them gently, such as against warm skin, without rubbing
- Rub them with snow to bring back the feeling
- Hold them close to a hot fire or heater so they thaw out as fast as possible
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: B. Rewarm them gently, such as against warm skin, without rubbing
Rubbing damages frozen tissue. Rewarm gently, and do not rewarm if the area may freeze again.
Frage 6 von 25
After unloading, how should you get the firearm to the other side of a fence when you are alone?
- Throw it gently over the fence onto soft ground
- Hold it over your head with one hand as you climb
- Lay it on the far side, muzzle pointing away, then cross away from the muzzle
- Lean it against a fence post with the safety on, then climb over right beside it
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: C. Lay it on the far side, muzzle pointing away, then cross away from the muzzle
Laying the unloaded firearm on the far side, muzzle away, means you are never in front of the muzzle while you cross.
Frage 7 von 25
Which of these makes a good backstop for a shot?
- A flat rock face or cliff behind the animal
- Open sky above a wide, flat field
- A hill or earth bank behind the target
- Open water behind the animal
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: C. A hill or earth bank behind the target
Soft earth safely stops bullets. Water and rock can cause ricochets, and open sky stops nothing.
Frage 8 von 25
Why is fur colour a poor way to tell a black bear from a grizzly?
- Bears change colour from season to season
- Only grizzlies can be brown, and only black bears can be black
- Both species can be black, brown or blond
- Colour is only hard to see at night
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: C. Both species can be black, brown or blond
Black bears can be brown or cinnamon, and grizzlies can be very dark. Use body shape instead.

- When you get home and unload the animal

- Unloaded on an open gun rack with the ammunition beside it
- Loaded in a closet for quick use

Storing firearms unloaded and locked, away from ammunition, keeps them away from children and thieves.

Every province has a line for reporting poaching. Safe, accurate details help officers act.

- Facing toward you at long range
- Broadside or quartering away
- Facing straight away from you
- Running across an open field

Broadside and quartering-away angles give a clear path to the heart and lungs.

What should you do before using a tree stand each season?
- Nothing, as long as the stand worked well last year and has been left on the same tree
- Paint the whole stand blaze orange so others see it
- Inspect the stand, straps and harness, and make sure the tree is healthy and strong
- Only check that the seat cushion is still comfortable
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: C. Inspect the stand, straps and harness, and make sure the tree is healthy and strong
Straps and parts wear out over time, and dead or leaning trees can fail. Check everything before you climb.
Frage 17 von 25
How does a broadhead arrow kill big game?
- By cutting blood vessels and organs, causing heavy bleeding
- By breaking the large bones of the legs
- By a poison that is put on the tip
- By the force of the impact, which stops the heart right away
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: A. By cutting blood vessels and organs, causing heavy bleeding
Sharp broadheads must hit the vital area to kill quickly by blood loss, so shot placement is very important for bowhunters.
Frage 18 von 25
What does the evidence say about most hunting incidents?
- They involve breaking one or more basic firearm safety rules
- They are mostly caused by attacks from wild animals
- They only happen to people in their first year of hunting
- They are mostly caused by broken or faulty firearms that fire on their own without warning

Antwort: A. They involve breaking one or more basic firearm safety rules
Almost all hunting incidents involve a broken safety rule, such as poor muzzle control or not identifying the target.
Frage 19 von 25
When is the shoulder carry (muzzle up and behind you) a poor choice?
- When someone is beside you
- When you are at the back of the group
- When someone is walking behind you
- When you are walking alone
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: C. When someone is walking behind you
The shoulder carry points the muzzle behind you, so use it only when nobody is behind you.
Frage 20 von 25
Why should you never "dry-fire" a bow or crossbow (release the string without an arrow or bolt)?
- It wastes arrows
- It only matters for crossbows, not bows
- It makes the string too tight to draw again
- It can break the bow and injure you
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: D. It can break the bow and injure you
Without an arrow to take the energy, the bow can be damaged or come apart.
Frage 21 von 25
When an unloaded firearm is raised on a haul line, which way should the muzzle point?
- Up, toward you
- Toward the tree trunk
- It does not matter if it is unloaded
- Down, away from you
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: D. Down, away from you
With the muzzle pointing down, it is never pointed at you as you pull it up.
Frage 22 von 25
In the "1-10-1" principle for falling into cold water, what happens in the first minute?
- You stop feeling cold because the body adjusts
- Cold shock: gasping and fast breathing that you must get under control
- You lose consciousness from the cold right away
- You can swim normally for a while, because the body has not cooled down yet
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: B. Cold shock: gasping and fast breathing that you must get under control
After about 1 minute of cold shock, you have about 10 minutes of useful movement, and about 1 hour before hypothermia causes unconsciousness.
Frage 23 von 25
In the elbow carry shown, the break-action gun is open over the forearm. Why is this a good choice near other people?
- It is the only carry allowed by law near others
- It keeps the barrel warm in cold weather
- Everyone can see the gun is open and cannot fire
- It is the fastest way to raise the gun and shoot
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: C. Everyone can see the gun is open and cannot fire
An open break-action gun carried over the arm clearly shows it cannot fire, and the muzzle points at the ground.
Frage 24 von 25
Is it acceptable to let the edible meat of big game spoil?
- Yes, if the animal is a small one
- Yes, as long as you keep the antlers and the hide for yourself
- No. Wasting edible meat is illegal and unethical

Provinces such as Ontario, Alberta and Manitoba ban abandoning or wasting the edible flesh of big game.
Frage 25 von 25
How is regulated hunting used as a wildlife management tool?
- It helps keep populations within what the habitat can support
- It is used to wipe out species that are too common
- It replaces the need to protect any habitat
- It is used to remove every predator, such as wolves and bears, from an area
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: A. It helps keep populations within what the habitat can support
Seasons, bag limits and quotas are set so hunting takes part of the population each year without harming it.
