How should you treat frostbitten fingers?
- Rub them hard between your hands to get blood flowing

Pergunta 5 de 25
Why do wildlife agencies ask hunters to report their harvest?

- Only to collect extra licence fees
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: C. The data helps biologists set seasons, quotas and limits
Harvest reports show how many animals were taken and where, which guides management decisions. Ontario now has mandatory reporting for some licences.

In the diagram, why is shot 1 safe and shot 2 unsafe?
- Shot 1 is safe only because the hunter is closer to the deer
- Both shots are equally safe because the hunter is kneeling and aiming carefully

The passenger pigeon shows what can happen without hunting laws. It helped lead to modern wildlife protection.
Pergunta 20 de 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
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: 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.
