How should a down deer or other large animals be approached?

  1. From above and behind the head

  2. Directly from the front

  3. From the side, quietly

  4. Indirectly, without making any noise

The correct answer is: From above and behind the head

Approaching a down deer or other large animals from above and behind the head is the safest option. This way, the animal will be less likely to feel threatened and will be less likely to attack or run away. Approaching directly from the front may startle or agitate the animal, while approaching from the side may make it harder to control the direction of the animal's movements. Also, approaching indirectly and without making any noise may startle the animal as well, leading to potential danger. Thus, approaching from above and behind the head is the best approach to avoid any accidents or harm to both the person approaching and the animal.
