As a part of holding a NSW game hunting licence, hunters are required to follow the ‘4 R’s’ of hunting: respect for law, respect for landowner and land manager, respect for environment and respect for animals.
Ethical hunters show respect for the law by:
- being role models who obey and promote compliance to all laws, including game hunting, access to lands and firearm laws
- ensuring they have permission before entering any land
- obeying all legal requirements of the landholder
- obeying total fire bans and ensuring they adhere to fire danger ratings
- reporting to DPI Hunting, landholders, managers or police, all unusual or suspicious behaviour or illegal activities.
