Ontario Hunting License Practice Exam

What could cause a hunter to be hunting in the wrong WMU?

1. Using outdated maps

2. Hunting in a WMU that is closed or without the required validation tag

3. Misidentification of game species

4. All of the above

The correct answer is: Hunting in a WMU that is closed or without the required validation tag

Hunting in a WMU (Wildlife Management Unit) is regulated and enforced by the state or province. It is important for hunters to follow the guidelines and regulations set by these governing bodies to ensure the sustainability and safety of the hunting activity. A hunter may be hunting in the wrong WMU if they do not have the required validation tag for that specific WMU, or if the WMU is closed for hunting. Both of these scenarios are violations of the regulations and can result in penalties or fines. Options A and C are incorrect because they do not directly relate to hunting in the wrong WMU. Using outdated maps may lead to getting lost or not finding the intended hunting spot, but it does not necessarily mean hunting in the wrong WMU. Misidentification of game species can also result in penalties and fines, but it does not address the issue of hunting in the wrong WMU. Option D, "All of the above" is incorrect because it includes options A, B, and C, but only option B directly addresses the question of hunting in the wrong WMU. Options A and C may contribute to the issue or result in penalties, but they do not specifically cause a hunter to hunt in the wrong WMU.
