Before you go<\/h4>
  • Licenses and education:<\/strong> nearly every state requires a hunting or fishing license, and most require a hunter education course for hunters born after a set year. Your state wildlife agency\u2019s website lists seasons, limits, tags and reporting rules each year.<\/li>
  • Check in your game:<\/strong> many states require deer, turkey and some other game to be reported (telechecked) within a set time. Keep your confirmation number with the meat.<\/li>
  • Private land:<\/strong> get written permission, and know where the property lines are.<\/li><\/ul>

    Safe hunting<\/h4>
    • Treat every gun as if it were loaded; point the muzzle in a safe direction; keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot; be sure of your target and what is beyond it.<\/li>
    • Wear blaze orange where your state requires it \u2014 and it is wise even where it doesn\u2019t.<\/li>
    • In a tree stand, wear a full-body harness and stay tied in from the time you leave the ground until you are back down.<\/li>
    • Tell someone where you are going and when you\u2019ll be back.<\/li><\/ul>

      Caring for the meat<\/h4>
      • Field dress quickly and cool the carcass below 40\u00b0F as soon as you can; in warm weather, quarter it and ice it.<\/li>
      • Keep it clean and dry, and wear gloves. Where chronic wasting disease is found, follow your state\u2019s testing and carcass-movement rules.<\/li>
      • Fish: keep them alive or on ice, and clean them the same day.<\/li><\/ul>

        Fishing and trapping<\/h4>
        • Know the size and creel limits for each water; some waters have their own rules.<\/li>
        • Check traps at least as often as your state requires (often every 24 hours), use the trap types allowed, and tag them if required. Release non-target animals.<\/li><\/ul>

          \u201cEvery moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.\u201d \u2014 Genesis 9:3. A good steward takes only what is lawful and needed, and wastes nothing.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n
