A successful hunt in Montana means so
much more than filling a tag. It’s about experiencing the outdoors, finding a
genuine camaraderie and making ethical decisions at every turn. Here are a few basics
to help you find success this season:
- Follow
the rules of safe gun handling.
- Be
proficient in the use of your equipment.
- Know
and obey laws and regulations.
- Develop
and maintain your hunting skills and knowledge.
- Develop
a personal code of conduct and consistently stick to it. That includes packing
out garbage, closing gates and keeping vehicles on designated roads.
- Respect
the wildlife you hunt and the land it inhabits.
- Respect
other hunters and rights of non-hunters and landowners.
- Get
involved in wildlife conservation.
- Be a
role model: share your skill and knowledge with others.
Additionally, remember the four basic
rules of gun safety:
1) Always point the muzzle of your gun in
a safe direction.
2) Always treat every gun as if it were loaded.
3) Always be sure of your target and beyond.
4) Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire.
