Signs Are Not Targets. What Would You Think if This Was Your
Land? The Public is More Critical of Hunter Behavior than of
Hunting When members of the public see hunters behaving in an
unethical or offensive manner, that reflects badly on everyone
who engages in this sport. Ethical and safe hunters understand
that our behavior sets us apart from non-ethical hunters. The
way we dress and act is important. You would not go into a store
or a restaurant with dirt and blood all over your clothes.
Ethical hunters bring an extra set of clothes with them, so if
they need to go to town or to a public place, they will not
offend others. Ethical hunters do not drive around with game
tied on the hood of their vehicle. The way we talk is important.
When we are in public, we have to be careful not to say or
relate stories in a manner that might offend the public. Using
words and phrases to describe an exciting story of a hunt might
be acceptable in the hunting camp, but when you are out in
public it might be offensive. Usin
