There are many responsibilities that go with being an ethical hunter.

Honesty.

Buy a license.

Know the game you will pursue.

Know the weapon you will use to take and secure your game.

Know how to deal with any game you take,Preparing the meat for the freezer or the table.

Know the bag limit for the species you are hunting and not going over that!!!

Courtesy to other hunters!

Never trespass on private property!

The shooting of non-game wildlife will not be tolerated it shows a total disrespect for the ecosystem that produced the target species one would intend on hunting.

As a group hunters are the most informed as to the rules,regulations and laws that govern the hunting of any species. We do not need a few unethical hunters giving the anti-hunting groups any more excuses for banning sport-hunting than they can come up with on their own.

A round the county there are several hunting seasons still underway,Waterfowl hunting,Quail hunting,Rabbit hunting and Predator hunting all of these species are being taken at Goose Pond Fish & Wildlife area.

With the beginning of the new year it is a good time to be out and see Goose Pond and our other wild areas in their winter season and what a contrast it is from warmer months.

Anytime is a great time to be exploring the outdoors in Greene County but we do need to use our privileges responsibly with ethics in mind.

We hope everyone has a happy new year and a great year outdoors.
