California Hunter Safety Course

3. Responsibility for Actions

• Do not turn your head on game violations - report any violation.
• Work with and cooperate with law enforcement officials.
• Understand that your actions reflect directly on how others view you as a hunter, and the sport of hunting in general.
• Admit when you have done something wrong.
• Understand that you can and will be held accountable for your actions.
• Ensure harvested game animals are properly field dressed so no meat is wasted.
• Pass up a shot if it is unsafe or if the shot will not produce a clean and swift harvest of the game animal.

4. Respect for Resource.

• Only take fair shots. Know the distance to your target.
• No shooting game in hard times (stuck in snow, crossing water, etc.).
• Humane Shots Only. No shooting game when accompanied by their young. Young animals will starve without parents.
• Obey local laws. Don't over hunt.
