With hunting season starting for most states September 1, 2010, hunters are getting prepared for for their scheduled hunt. All hunters should check the state regulations for hunting season date exceptions. Each state has different standards and paperwork requirements for getting a hunting license. These includes the areas, time periods, harvesting techniques, distinctions between species, and a hunting safety course.
If hunting on private land this hunting season, always ask in advance. Hunting licenses do not allow the hunter permission to trespass on private land. Hunting big game typically requires a tag for each specie of animal hunted. Big game is typically defined as dear, elk, moose, bear, bison, mountain goat, and caribou. Tags are purchased in addition to the required state hunting license.
Due to the number of hunters typically out numbering the allocated number of game available, tags are usually issued by a lottery. Having your hunting license and tag for big game does not guarantee a kill. Hunting is a skill for the true sportsman and responsible hunters do not take unfair advantage of game animals, this is called “Fair Chase”.
Fair chase, as defined by the Boone and Crockett Club, is the ethical, sportsmanlike, and lawful pursuit and taking of any free-ranging wild, native North American big game animal in a manner that does not give the hunter an improper advantage over such animals.
