How should you treat frostbitten fingers?

- Both hunters are equally easy to see
- Neither hunter can be seen among the trees

Blaze orange stands out against trees and bushes, so other hunters can see you and not mistake you for game.

- A red, sweaty face and hot, dry skin
- Itchy skin on the arms and legs

Pergunta 7 de 25
What should you do with your firearm before you climb a steep bank, cross a creek on a log, or get into a boat?
- Hold it with your finger on the trigger for balance
- Put the safety on and keep it loaded
- Unload it
- Carry it by the barrel
Mostrar resposta

Unload any time you could slip or fall, because a fall can make a loaded firearm fire.
Pergunta 8 de 25
You fall and are hanging in your harness. Why is it urgent to get help or relieve pressure on your legs?
- The harness straps will slowly loosen and let you slip out of them completely
- Your movement will scare away all the animals nearby
- Hanging still in a harness can quickly cut off blood flow to the legs
- It is not urgent, as long as the harness is holding you
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: C. Hanging still in a harness can quickly cut off blood flow to the legs
Hanging without moving can become life-threatening (suspension trauma). Use a relief strap to stand, move your legs and call for help.

In the tree stand diagram, what is item 1?
- A waist belt
- A single chest strap
- A full-body harness

A full-body harness spreads the force of a fall over your body and is the safety system to use in a tree stand.
Pergunta 10 de 25
Right after you shoot at an animal, what should you do?
- Fire more shots into the bush where it went
- Leave the area if you did not see it fall
- Run after it right away so it cannot get far, and keep it moving until it tires out completely
- Watch where it goes, mark the spot where it stood, and wait quietly before following
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: D. Watch where it goes, mark the spot where it stood, and wait quietly before following
Waiting lets a hit animal lie down. Marking the spot helps you find the first signs of a hit.
Pergunta 11 de 25

- Whenever you see or hear movement in the bush
- As soon as the firearm is loaded, so you are always ready for a quick shot

Resting your finger on the trigger while walking or waiting can cause an accidental shot.

A safety is a mechanical device that can wear out or break. It never replaces safe muzzle control.
Pergunta 18 de 25
Why can a hunter wear blaze orange and still hunt deer?
- Deer see colours differently, so orange does not stand out to them as it does to us
- Orange clothing is only worn after the animal has been shot
- Deer are attracted to orange, so it helps bring them closer
- Deer are fully colour-blind, so they cannot see any bright colours at all in daylight
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: A. Deer see colours differently, so orange does not stand out to them as it does to us
Blaze orange is very visible to people but does not stand out the same way to deer. Movement is more likely to alert them.
Pergunta 19 de 25
Before shooting, what must you be sure of about the animal?
- Only that it is big enough to be worth the work of dragging it out of the bush
- Only that no other hunter has seen it first
- Only that it is standing inside an open field
- Its species, and that its sex or antlers are legal for your licence
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: D. Its species, and that its sex or antlers are legal for your licence
Licences and tags are often for one species, sex or antler type. If you are not sure, do not shoot.

How can hunters help slow the spread of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in deer, elk and moose?
- Follow carcass movement rules and submit samples for testing when asked

- Move whole carcasses to new areas to spread the risk
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: A. Follow carcass movement rules and submit samples for testing when asked
CWD is a fatal disease. Rules on carcass movement and testing help agencies track and limit it.
