INCLUSIVE BY DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION, DIVISION OF GAME 8 FISH MINNESOTA HUNTER 1 S CODE Buy a hunting license and always carry it when hunting. Study the game laws and decide to live up to them. Learn to shoot and handle a gun by practice before you go hunting. Pick an experienced hunting companion-if you lack experience. Do not use intoxicating beverages on a hunting trip. Respect the speed limits as you travel through towns. When driving be careful of children, and domestic animals. Do not hunt near towns or villages-illegal. Always ask for the privilege of hunting on a farm-posted or not posted-first introducing yourself, giving name and address. If permission is granted, inquire of the occupant if there is any portion he does not wish you to hunt on-because of growing crops, stock, etc. Ask the farmer to hunt with you. Park your car out of the way in the yard-be quiet. Do not honk horn to attract attention of occupants of a house. If game is found, be reasonable, leave some for the next man. Upon returning to the car show your kill, if any, to the farmer, and offer him a portion. If investigation shows no one at home on a farm-do not hunt. Prevent your dog from chasing stock-do not kill cats on farms. Do not discharge firearms within 2 yards of a farm home, near domestic animals-especially those in harness, or from a highway, Do not climb over fences; crawl under or use the gate where possible. Close all gates securely, when found closed. Report all damage you may do while hunting or that you will find has been done. Never run away from an approaching farmer in the fieldall men despise a coward. Never hunt in a sneaking manner-hunting is manly when conducted in a legal and proper manner. Always ask permission. Rowdyism and vandalism have no place in a sportsman's program. Protect our hunting privileges-observe the golden rule. Co-operate with the game wardens-they are serving you. Never post land you do not own or lease. Learn to distinguish our game and always know what you are shooting at before you shoot. Leave a clean camp. Be careful of your cigarets and matches. Adopt the slogan "All guns are always loaded." Advertise and live up to this code. Report all game killed each year to the commissioner of game.
