All members are expected to abide by the Code of Ethics.

Recognising their responsibilities as a hunter to wildlife, to the habitat necessary to its survival, and to future generations, and accepting these principals of superior sportsmanship promulgated by Safari Club International.

They pledge:

  1. - That they shall unfailingly conduct themselves in the hunting field so as to make a positive contribution to the welfare of both game and non-game species of wildlife, as well as to the ecosystems they occupy.
  2. - That they shall never cease to try to improve their personal skills in bushmanship and marksmanship,  to assure humane harvesting of wildlife surpluses and to avoid waste of those precious resources.
  3. - That they will comply with all laws regulating wildlife harvest and shall accept their responsibility to provide all possible assistance to Conservation and Fish and Game enforcement officers.
  4. - That they shall always, by word and behaviour, reflect only credit upon the great fraternity of sportsmen-hunters,  and demonstrate their abiding respect for the game,  for its habitat,  for their fellow hunters and those who will come after them,  and for the property,  whether private or public,  whereupon they are privileged to hunt.
  5. - That they will waste no opportunity to teach young people, by their personal example and otherwise, full meaning and practice of this Hunters Code of Ethics.
