Chapter 3: Safe and Responsible Bowhunting
Bowhunting Responsibilities
Respect Non-Hunters
Responsible bowhunters refrain from behavior that will turn people against
hunting. Offensive actions include:
- Display vulgar or obnoxious bumper stickers or clothing slogans.
- Brag or try to start arguments with people who don’t hunt or who oppose hunting.
- Use foul language in public places while wearing camouflage or other clothing that identifies the individual as a bowhunter.
- Go into public places wearing camouflage or similar clothing that
has been doused with scent-covering odors.
- Wear bloody clothing or unnecessarily display dead animals in public.
- Be disrespectful of landowners, their livestock, or any private property.
- Purchase or drink alcoholic beverages, be intoxicated, or be impaired by drugs prior to, during, or after a hunt.

When transporting game, be sure to keep it covered to avoid offending
non-hunters.

When hunting away from home, keep a fresh, clean set of
clothing for trips into town for gas, meals or other supplies.
