2. Respect for the landowner and land manager
Ethical hunters show respect for the landowner and land manager by:
- understanding that when entering property with permission, they are a guest of the landowner and must treat the property with respect
- obeying all reasonable requests and directions of the landowner
- ensuring they gain a clear understanding of property boundaries and the areas they have permission to access
- looking for opportunities to assist landowners in return for the hunting privileges they have been afforded
- treating all other people’s opinions and property with respect
- learning about the likelihood or presence of any traditional owner’s sites or places and not, under any circumstances, disturbing them.
