Ontario Hunting License Practice Exam

How should the sex of a harvested animal be indicated during transport?

1. By tagging the animal with a colored ribbon

2. By keeping the sex organs attached to the carcass

3. By documenting the sex in a hunting log

4. By reporting to a wildlife officer

The correct answer is: By keeping the sex organs attached to the carcass

During transport, it is important to indicate the sex of the harvested animal. Option A, tagging with a colored ribbon, may not always be reliable or clear, especially in cases where the ribbon may fall off or get mixed up with other ribbons. Option C, documenting in a hunting log, may also be prone to errors or not readily accessible to others. Option D, reporting to a wildlife officer, may add an extra step and as a result, delay the transportation process. Option B, keeping the sex organs attached to the carcass, is the most accurate and efficient method as it provides clear physical evidence of the animal's sex. This method also aligns with regulations and guidelines for transport and processing of harvested animals.
