Respect private property

Remember, you are a guest on the landholder’s property, and as a guest you must be respectful to your host.

Showing respect doesn’t end with the landholder. You should also respect the property and livestock as well as all farming and production.

You can show respect to the property and the landholder by following these best practices:

• always give the landholder sufficient notice of when you intend to hunt on their land, including times and duration
• obey all the landholder rules at all times
• treat the property as if it were your own
• do not leave any rubbish on the property, including empty cartridges and ammunition
• leave all gates as you found them
• extinguish any campfires
• do not drive through paddocks or crops, and always stay on the tracks
• do not drive over tracks in wet weather, as this can cause massive damage; it’s best to hunt on foot in wet weather
• never shoot towards houses, building or stock animals
• never shoot across roads or fence lines
• stop hunting immediately if things happen to go wrong, and explain the situation to landholder
• always thank the landholder after your hunt, and notify them of any issues you may have encountered.
