Responsible hunting provides unique challenges and
rewards.
However, the future of the sport depends on each hunter's behavior and
ethics.
Therefore, as a hunter, I pledge to:
- Respect the environment and wildlife.
- Respect property and landowners.
- Show consideration for non-hunters.
- Hunt safely.
- Know and obey the law.
- Support wildlife and habitat conservation.
- Pass on an ethical hunting tradition.
- Strive to improve my outdoor skills and understanding
of wildlife.
- Hunt only with ethical hunters.
By following these principles of conduct each time I go a
field, I will give my best to the sport, the public, the environment and
myself. The responsibility to hunt ethically is mine; the future of hunting
depends on me.
