There is a code of ethics that hunters and hunting guides alike should follow and there are as follow:
- Every state has different laws, so the guides should familiarize themselves with the regulations wherever they are.
- Guides should conduct their outfitting and guiding operations in a manner that does not discredit themselves, or other outfitters and guides.
- Respect other outfitter and guide members rights and shall not directly or indirectly cause injury to others.
- Guides should respect the property they are hunting and the landowners.
- If guides see illegal activity taking place they should report it to the proper authorities.
- Guides should learn to tread lightly while afield. Use vehicles only on established roads and trails, practice low-impact camping and travel, and pack out your trash.
- They must make sure there clients have the proper tags and licenses.
- Also all hunters and guides alike should hunt safely.
All hunters and guides should follow these rules so that everyone is safe while hunting and that people are still able to hunt in the future. These rules also will keep or environment and protect the wildlife that we have on this planet.
I think it is important to have a code of ethics in every field, hunting especially. These ethics seem fairly basic, which is probably a good thing because I'm sure most states have laws put in place to make hunting more strict. I'm interested where you found these ethics or if it is common knowledge in your field.
