Which of the following is one of the main causes of accidents while hunting from a watercraft?

  1. Standing in the watercraft while shooting

  2. Wearing a personal flotation device

  3. Only shooting within your zone of fire

  4. Storing the firearm unloaded in a case when not in use

The correct answer is: Standing in the watercraft while shooting

Hunting from a watercraft requires heightened safety precautions due to the combination of firearms and water. Standing in the watercraft while shooting is a dangerous practice as it can result in loss of balance and falling overboard. This option also suggests that the person is not wearing a personal flotation device, which is another important safety measure when hunting from a watercraft. Additionally, shooting within your zone of fire and storing the firearm unloaded in a case when not in use are responsible practices and not one of the main causes of accidents while hunting from a watercraft.
