Houndsman Code of Ethics

  1. 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.
  2. I will obey the rules of safe gun handling, and will courteously but firmly insist others who hunt with me to do so
  3. I will obey all game laws and regulations and will insist my fellow hunters to do the same.
  4. I will support conservation efforts, which can ensure good hunting for future generations.
  5. I will pass along to young hunters the attitudes and skills essential to a true outdoor sportsman.
  6. I will strive for adherence to proper wildlife management principles for sustaining big game harvests and populations.
  7. 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.
  8. I will be a positive example of resource stewardship.
  9. I will do my best to tread lightly while afield, to use only established roads and trails and foremost to leave no litter.
  10. I will strive to invite a young person or nonhunter next time I go afield.
