Sportsmen And Women
Encouraged To Observe
Good Hunter Ethics
Hunters have a responsibility to
ensure that the non-hunting pub
lic does not become the anti-hunt
ing public. Fortunately, this eas
ily can be accomplished by dem
onstrating good hunter ethics
when participating in outdoor ac
tivities, according to the Georgia
Department of Natural Re
sources, Wildlife Resources Di
vision (WRD). Hunter ethics in
clude maintaining a level of re
spect for the outdoors environ
ment, the non-hunting public,
other hunters, private landown
ers, safety, conservation and natu
ral resources.
"All too often, hunting is por
trayed in a negative way to the
general public and public opinion
can effect legislation about hunt
ing," says WRD Director David
Waller. "Therefore, it is the ob
ligation of all hunters to observe
good ethics to maintain both a
positive image and a healthy fu
ture for the sport."
WRD suggests that hunters fol
low these guidelines:
Care for all harvested game
properly. Hunters should avoid
displaying game in potentially
offensive ways, such as tied to the
hood of a car or in the back of a
truck with the tailgate down.
Dispose of all carcass material
properly. Do not under any cir
cumstances dump deer carcasses
by roadsides, in creek beds or
other improper locations. This is
disrespectful to the animal and to
the non-hunting public as well as
illegal.
Know and follow all of the
hunting regulations and game
limits.
Demonstrate respect for public
and private property landowners.
Always ask permission to hunt on
private land.
Respect natural resources.
Drive only on developed roads.
Do not alter the natural landscape
in any way. Keep hunting areas
clean. Pick up spent shells and
any other litter.
Remember safety guidelines.
Test all equipment to be used dur
ing your hunt (tree stand, guns,
etc.) to make sure they are oper
ating correctly and that knowl
edge of the equipment to be used
is sufficient to maintain safety for
both yourself and other hunters.
Show restraint. Shoot only
when absolutely sure of the tar
get and what is behind it. Make
every attempt to retrieve game
and avoid wounding animals.
Promote conservation. By turn
ing in poachers, hunters protect
the longevity of the sport and also
aid in the protection of non-game
and/or endangered wildlife ani
mals.
For more information on ethi
cal hunting, contact the local
WRD Game Management Office
or call (770) 918-6416.
