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.
