Yep. Rule 3 was really hammered home in my hunter's safety course (one of many courses at a free 2-week summer camp i went to each year, which was put on by my state's Fish and Wildlife department). We'd have the lecture, a written test, then a field test. The field test, they'd take us in groups of about 5 out on a trail and ask us if it would be ok to shoot at various targets. Most of the time it'd be "no". The target would be past a no-hunting sign, or at the top of a hill, or similar. It forced you to think about your surroundings. I think​ we also carried wooden fake rifles, so the instructor could see if we pointed them at anything.

(Other courses included first aid, local critters, boating safety, fishing, swimming, and archery.)
