1. Respect for the law

As a part of holding the NSW game hunting licence, hunters are required to follow the ‘4 R’s’ of hunting: respect for law, respect for landowner and land manager, respect for environment and respect for animals.

Ethical hunters show respect for the law by:

  • being role models who obey and promote compliance to all laws, including game hunting, access to lands and firearm laws
  • ensuring they have permission before entering any land
  • obeying all legal requirements of the landholder
  • obeying total fire bans and ensuring they adhere to fire danger ratings
  • reporting to the Game Licensing Unit, landholder, manager or police all unusual or suspicious behaviour or illegal activities.
