Manitoba Hunter Safety Practice Exam

A common sign of a wounded animal is blood trails or erratic movements. When an animal is injured, it often struggles to move normally, which can result in unpredictable or erratic behavior as it tries to escape or find safety. Additionally, blood trails are a clear indicator that the animal has sustained an injury. These signs are crucial for hunters who need to track and locate the animal after a shot. Understanding these signs helps ensure that wounded animals are found and cared for swiftly, contributing to ethical hunting practices.

Other signs, such as excessive vocalizations or increased grazing, do not typically indicate injury and can be misleading in tracking an animal. Sudden speed may indicate a healthy animal fleeing from danger rather than one that is wounded. Recognizing the correct signs is vital for responsible hunting and ensuring a humane approach to wildlife management.
