Techniques used to take possession of free-ranging animals, such as trapping and shooting are called?

• A. Capture methods
• B. Capture tactics
• C. Hunting strategies
• D. Relocation methods

Answer: (A)

Capture methods are the techniques used to seize or remove animals from the wild. Trapping and shooting exemplify this because they are direct means of taking possession of the animal rather than simply pursuing it or relocating it later. Relocation methods describe moving animals after capture, which is a different step; hunting strategies refer to the broader approach to pursuing game rather than the act of taking possession. In standard practice, the category that includes devices and practices used to physically capture free-ranging animals is capture methods.
