Which statement about hunting on private property is true?

• A. You should never ask permission to hunt on private property.
• B. Permission is not necessary for private property.
• C. You may hunt on private property without asking if you know the owner.
• D. You should always ask permission to hunt on private property

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is respect for private property and following the law before hunting on land that isn’t yours. Before you step onto someone else’s land, you should get explicit permission from the landowner. This protects their rights, helps prevent trespassing charges, and sets clear expectations about hunting on that property (what you can hunt, when you can hunt, safety rules, and any conditions the owner might have). Even if you know the owner, it’s still best to obtain clear, written or verbal permission so both parties are on the same page.

Think about why the other statements don’t fit. Not asking for permission can lead to trespass violations and conflicts with the landowner. Saying permission isn’t necessary on private property ignores property rights and safety concerns. Assuming you can hunt without asking just because you know the owner can easily overlook rules and boundary protections that apply. So the responsible choice is to always ask before hunting on private property.
