Your Top Three Rules of Hunting

[Andre Bell]

Hello everyone! I was talking to my daughter (9 years old) the other day about hunting, why I hunt and some of the rules that are not negotiable when I hunt. With that, I'm curious as to what your non-negotiable rules when you hunt that I can add to my list as well. Thank you!

Dre's Top Three Rules:
1) Respect the animal (ethical only shots, properly harvest your hunt, follow State guidelines)
2) Respect other hunter's areas/equipment
3) Leave no trace when the hunt is complete (make sure there are no strings or garbage laying around)

Obey the jungle law: don't be greedy and the nature will reward you over and over again

Treat others like you want to be treated

Don't piss against the wind

1) Hunt deer where they are when they will be there.
2) Always be scouting and adapting to changing conditions.
3) Don't pass a deer on the first day you would gladly take on the last day.

If you are hunting with someone else, be on time and that means early.
Stay in your tree until dark. If you are afraid of dark woods dont hunt afternoons.
Whether you own one or not, learn how to back a boat in the water. Dont be the metrosexual flat biller blocking the freakin ramp.

1. Don't fall
2. Never hunt without toilet paper
3. If it don't feel right, don't do it

1) Safety (especially gun safety)

That's all. The successful hunt is the one everybody comes home from.

Keep your booger hook off of the bang switch, until the weapon is pointed in a safe direction.
Take out what you take in, leave no trace of your presence.
Play the wind.

If the hunting gear is in the woods and didn’t buy it, leave it alone.

Walk slow and look and listen

Always carry at minimum a small first aid it. (gauze, tape, quick clot, and a tourniquet in mine) It could save your life.

1) be sure if what your shooting at. No shooting at moving bushes.
2) don’t trash the place
3) don’t just kill to be killing
