A Turkey Hunter's Code of Conduct

As a responsible turkey hunter, I will

  • not let peer pressure or the excitement of the hunt cloud my judgment;

  • learn and practice safe hunting techniques;

  • hunt the wild turkey fairly;

  • know the capabilities and limitations of my gun or bow and use it safely;

  • obey and support all wildlife laws and report all violations

  • respect the land and the landowner and always obtain permission before hunting;

  • avoid knowingly interfering with another hunter and respect the right of others to lawfully share the out-of-doors;

  • value the hunting experience and appreciate the beauty of the wild turkey;

  • positively identify my target as a legal bird and insist on a good shot; and share responsible turkey hunting with others and work for wild turkey conservation.
