Three hunters are walking side-by-side hunting pheasants. Which of the following is a safe and proper practice?

  1. The middle hunter signals when to shoot

  2. Each hunter takes turns shooting

  3. Each hunter shoots only at pheasants in his or her zone of fire

  4. All hunters shoot at any visible pheasant

The correct answer is: Each hunter shoots only at pheasants in his or her zone of fire

The safe and proper practice for the three hunters walking side-by-side hunting pheasants is for each hunter to shoot only at pheasants in his or her designated zone of fire. This allows for clear communication and avoids any potential accidents or confusion between the hunters. Option A is incorrect as the middle hunter should not be solely responsible for signaling when to shoot. Option B is also incorrect as it does not specify how to determine whose turn it is to shoot. Option D is not safe as it increases the risk of shooting each other or mistaking another hunter for a pheasant. Therefore, C is the best option as it promotes safety and clear communication among the hunters.
