GAINING AND MAINTAINING
HUNTING AND FISHING PRIVILEGES
ON PRIVATE PROPERTY
- ASK PERMISSION BEFORE YOU STEP FOOT ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. OTHERWISE, YOU ARE TRESPASSING AND MOST CERTAINLY DESERVE WHATEVER YOU GET.
- WHEN YOU APPROACH A PROPERTY OWNER ABOUT HUNTING OR FISHING, BE VERY POLITE. STATE YOUR INTENTIONS CLEARLY AND CAREFULLY. DO NOT ARGUE IF YOU ARE DENIED.
- IF YOU BIRD HUNT WITH A DOG, MAKE IT KNOWN UP FRONT. SOME PROPERTY OWNERS DO NOT MIND A DOG, OTHERS DO. IF YOU ARE ALLOWED TO HUNT- BUT WITHOUT THE DOG- BE GRATEFUL. AT LEAST YOU ARE ALLOWED TO HUNT.
- IF YOU ARE GRANTED HUNTING AND FISHING PRIVILEGES, NEVER BRING ALONG A FRIEND UNLESS YOU HAVE PERMISSION.
- IF YOU OBTAIN ACCESS TO PRIVATE PROPERTY, NEVER SHOOT THE COWS, THE BARN, THE WATER TANK, THE PROPERTY OWNER, OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A PHEASANT, A GROUSE, A DEER, OR A RABBIT. NEVER FISH WHERE THE PROPERTY OWNER TELLS YOU NOT TO FISH.
- IF A GATE IS OPENED, LEAVE IT OPENED.
- IF A GATE IS CLOSED, LEAVE IT CLOSED.
- IF A FENCE IS TOPPLED OVER, OFFER A HAND IN REPAIRING IT.
- NEVER LITTER. TAKE OUT WHAT YOU TAKE IN. DO NOT BE A SCOUNDREL, LEAVING TRASH ALL OVER THE WOODS AND WATER SO GENEROUSLY OFFERED FOR YOUR HUNTING AND FISHING PLEASURE.
- OFFER SOME OF YOUR GAME TO THE PROPERTY OWNER.
- IF YOU CATCH A TROUT, LET IT GO. BE SURE TO HUMBLY BRAG TO THE PROPERTY OWNER ABOUT RELEASING THE TROUT. TELL HIM THAT YOU HOPE TO CATCH THAT FISH AGAIN SOME OTHER DAY.
- THANK THE PROPERTY OWNER SINCERELY FOR HIS OR HER KINDNESS.
