A HUNTER'S PLEDGE
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 afield, 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.
