What should a hunter take into consideration when patterning a shotgun?
a, pattern at the different ranges you expect to find game pattern at the different ranges you expect to find game
b, pattern only at the minimum range you expect to find game pattern only at the minimum range you expect to find game
c, pattern with no. 4 lead shot only pattern with no. 4 lead shot only
d, never use a choke when patterning a shotgun never use a choke when patterning a shotgun

The answer would be letter A: You should pattern at the different ranges you expect to find game. Lead shot is not permitted in North America because of its toxic content. Chokes help in holding the shot string together so it will not spread once it leaves the barrel.

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley; i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten, all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however, many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn; whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today, its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
