Ethical Hunting is Everyone's business
"Ethics is not only about what you should not do, but what you should
do. Offer to lend a hand to another hunter if they are retrieving downed
game, share mformation on hunting conditions and engage in helpful
conversation with beginners you happen to meet."
Hunting is a heritage we all share and together we can continue to share
it for generations to come."
Brian Waking, Game Branch Chief

What are Ethics?
Ethics generally relate to fairness, respect and responsibility. Aldo
Leopold once said ethical behavior is doing the right thing when no one
else is watching even when doing the wrong thing is legal. They are the
personal unwritten rules that we value. When we talk about an ethical
hunter fheir behaviors an example of the sportsmanship they demonstrate
in the field.
Ethics with Non-hunters
Show respect for other users of the land and their property. They possess
the same rights as you do to use the lands; Be courteous to non-hunters
when transporting your game -from the field. Transport animals
discretely; Don't leave remams of field dressing in places where it is
easily visible. Respect other people that may be walking by; clean up to
the best of your ability before entering into a public place when returning
from a hunt if you cannot change cloths. Present a professional image;
Take tasteful photographs of your hunt; Invite someone new to come
hunting with you.
