Mistakes in identification of game can lead to what outcome?

• A. Illegal harvest of game or non-game animals
• B. Paying a fine
• C. Gaining license points
• D. Better shooting skills

Answer: (A)

Mistakes in identifying your target before shooting can lead to illegally taking an animal that isn’t legal to harvest—either because it’s a protected species, out of season, or not a game animal at all. That illegal harvest is the direct consequence of misidentification and carries potential penalties, such as fines or other legal actions. A fine might result from that illegal take, but the core outcome described here is the unlawful harvest itself. The other options don’t fit because misidentification doesn’t inherently improve shooting skills or earn license points.
