Watch: Hunt Right Montana – Take Pride in, Practice and Teach Good Hunter Ethics!
HUNTER ETHICS ~ HuntRightMT.com
Ethics, unlike laws, are specific to each individual. Every hunter must develop his own set of rules for honorable behavior while afield. However, like honor, a basic code of conduct exists. The following tenets should be followed at all times:
Follow Fair Chase principles, giving the animal a reasonable opportunity to escape.The contest is between its survival instincts and your skill and cunning. Too many technological advantages reduces it to mere killing, not hunting. Do not take advantage of an animal in distress.
Make a clean kill. Avoid shooting at running animals, through obstacles, or from great distances. Only take shots you’re certain you can make. Avoid wounding an animal at all costs.
Develop your skills. Attain and maintain hunting abilities that allow you to make better choices and cleaner kills. Shoot your weapon often, and from the positions in which you’ll find yourself while afield.
Know your limits. And do not exceed them. This goes for your equipment, too. If an animal is too large or too far from the vehicle for you to pack it out without spoilage, don’t take the shot.
Be safe. Know your backdrop and practice proper weapon-handling. Do not endanger yourself or others.
Show respect. For the animal. Like you, wildlife are living creatures just trying to make a go of it in this world. Give them the respect they deserve. Do not waste harvested game.
For others. Close gates behind you, be courteous to other hunters, and be considerate of non-hunters.
For Montana. Know and honor local and regional customs.
For the environment. Regard the landscape as holy ground and treat it as such. Do not litter or drive over fragile vegetation. Support conservation efforts.
For the future. Behave in a way that reflects well upon hunting and hunters, helping to ensure that future generations will enjoy the same privileges we do today.

How this site earns its keep honestly, just like you and me!
This site makes nothing for simply having an advertisement appear. It makes nothing for clicks or impressions like most other sites. It will never display those types of advertisements because they violate your browser. Your browsing habits outside of this site are none of this websites business.
An average commission of 3% is made when visitors make purchases through sponsor links such as those listed here in the sidebar, and at Top Ammunition Sites. We’re also excited to have a new sponsor which is Payment Alliance International, the NRA endorsed firearms friendly credit card processor.
Excluding donated development time, operational costs alone will run about $1500 per year to keep this site running smoothly. To make a contribution, simply go buy new guns and ammunition for yourself from our sponsors here, or sign your business up for credit card processing through P.A.I. Buying through links here costs you nothing more, may even save you processing fees, and keeps more of your hard earned money in Montana where it then helps develop this local site.
Thanks for looking and sharing this Montana localized site with at least six of your friends right now!

Are There Montana Gun Trader Groups Elsewhere?
For The Record – There are NO GROUPS at any other social networks bearing this sites name associated in any way to this website, domain or its local owner.
There is one Facebook Page still associated to this website that is in no way promoted. It is simply there as a place for users to find this site in search because facebook has taken over most of those searches in most search engines. If members are a part of said groups, that is entirely up to them. Exercise online firearms freedoms elsewhere as long as you possibly can. Hopefully it doesn’t aggravate or challenge them into taking a stand as facebook has now done after gun control zealots invade and start reporting groups and posts as they have done at facebook.
We’ve done this too many times to put all of our eggs into other billionaire network baskets to risk losing what takes years to build. Each time it happens gun owners are divided and scattered in various directions only to see it happen time and again.
How many times do we have to lose connections and move to another network before we build our own? This site has had this in mind at every turn since purchasing the domain years ago. It has been a backup plan for just such an eventuality.
That being said we are very tolerant. We still give registered users the ability to link to their favorite social networks directly on their profile page. Either for quick reference for them or for friends to find them on other networks, this option is available.
Click edit profile after logging in to find locations to link the networks you’d like a button for to appear on your profile page. Only logged in members are able to view these links. These can be linked to your personal pages or any favorite page at those networks. Logged in users can click the photo to see my page as an example. More of these can easily be added, get in here and send me a message to make the suggestion.
