Houndsman Code of Ethics
- I will consider myself a guest of the landowner, either private or Federal, seeking permission, and conducting myself so I will be welcome in the future.
- I will obey the rules of safe gun handling, and will courteously but firmly insist others who hunt with me to do so
- I will obey all game laws and regulations and will insist my fellow hunters to do the same.
- I will support conservation efforts, which can ensure good hunting for future generations.
- I will pass along to young hunters the attitudes and skills essential to a true outdoor sportsman.
- I will strive for adherence to proper wildlife management principles for sustaining big game harvests and populations.
- I will promote fair chase, proper care of harvested animals, humane treatment of all wildlife and do my utmost to protect the young of all game I pursue.
- I will be a positive example of resource stewardship.
- I will do my best to tread lightly while afield, to use only established roads and trails and foremost to leave no litter.
- I will strive to invite a young person or nonhunter next time I go afield.
