Hunter Ethics
As a hunter, you are responsible to
adopt and follow a personal code
of ethics that reflects your values
and your respect for wildlife, hunting
and pass on the sport of hunting to
those who come after you. Remember
the following points to help ensure the
future of Oregon’s hunting heritage.
Respect Landowners
• Ask for permission to hunt well
before you plan on hunting.
• Leave all gates the way you
find them.
• Follow all landowner restrictions.
• Offer to share part of your harvest
with the landowner.
Respect the Resource
• Leave the land better than you
found it.
• Adhere to fair chase rules.
• Know your capabilities and
limitations as a marksman.
• Harvest no more than you will use,
and take care of what you take.
• Abide by game laws and
regulations.
Report hunting violations to
the Oregon State Police at
1-800-452-7888.
Respect Others
• Follow safe firearm handling
practices and insist your hunting
partners do the same.
• Know what is beyond your target.
Shot pellets can be fatal to both
people and dogs.
• Don’t interfere with another
persons hunt.
• If mentoring a youth hunter, be
sure to pass on safe, responsible
and ethical knowledge and skills.
• Wear blaze orange when hunting.
Be Safe – Be Seen.
