What should hunters do to maintain respect for the environment?

Leave gates open
Use lead ammunition
Dispose of waste properly
Harvest only trophy animals

The correct answer is: Dispose of waste properly

Hunters should dispose of waste properly to maintain respect for the environment. This means properly disposing of trash, such as plastic, food packaging, and empty cartridges, as well as properly disposing of waste from harvested animals, such as bones and entrails. Leaving gates open (option A) can lead to escaped livestock and potential harm to native wildlife. Using lead ammunition (option B) can harm non-target animals who may ingest leftover lead fragments. Harvesting only trophy animals (option D) can disrupt the natural balance of the ecosystem and lead to overhunting of certain species. Therefore, properly disposing of waste is the most important action hunters can take to show respect for the environment.
