Minnesota Firearms Safety Hunter Education Practice Exam

What type of hunting plan should you leave with a friend or family member before going hunting?

1. A plan that includes only your hunting location

2. A detailed plan including your route, destination, and expected return time

3. A vague plan with the promise to check in whenever possible

4. No plan, to keep your hunting spot secret

The correct answer is: A detailed plan including your route, destination, and expected return time

Before going hunting, it is crucial to leave a detailed plan with a friend or family member. This plan should include your route to the hunting location, where your destination is, and your expected return time. By providing this comprehensive information, you ensure that someone knows where you are going and when to expect you back. This is essential for your safety in case of an emergency or if you do not return as planned. Options A, C, and D are not appropriate because a vague plan or no plan at all may put you in danger and make it difficult for others to assist you in case of an emergency.
