What is the purpose of hunter education?

To improve shooting skills
To teach survival skills
To promote safe, responsible, and knowledgeable hunting
To increase game populations

The correct answer is: To promote safe, responsible, and knowledgeable hunting

Hunter education courses serve the main purpose of promoting safe, responsible, and knowledgeable hunting practices. While improving shooting skills (option A) may be a secondary benefit, the primary focus is on ensuring hunters have a thorough understanding of safety protocols, ethical hunting practices, and wildlife conservation. Survival skills (option B) are often covered in a separate wilderness or survival course and are not the main purpose of hunter education. Additionally, the purpose of hunter education is focused on responsible hunting, not increasing game populations (option D).
