Though past conservation efforts have focused on hunted species, non-hunted species reap the rewards as well. Protecting wetlands for ducks, forests for deer and grasslands for pronghorn have saved countless non-hunted species from peril. Regardless of whether one chooses to actively participate in hunting or angling, people interested in wildlife and its future should understand the conservation role sportsmen play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-beta-dark-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">arizona&#8217;s 7 core concepts of conservation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Wildlife is Held in the Public Trust<\/li><li>Regulated Commerce in Wildlife<\/li><li>Hunting and Angling Laws are Created Through<br>Public Process<\/li><li>Hunting and Angling Opportunity for All<\/li><li>Hunters and Anglers Fund Conservation<\/li><li>Wildlife is an International Resource<\/li><li>Science is the Basis for Wildlife Policy<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">arizona sportsmen&#8217;s contributions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No state general fund monies are used for wildlife conservation in Arizona (In many states, general taxpayers usually do not pay for wildlife conservation). Arizona&#8217;s sportsmen, however, do contribute:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Arizona hunters and anglers spend $1.3 billion a year.<\/li><li>Their spending directly supports 21,000 jobs and generates $124 million in state and local taxes. This especially benefits rural communities.<\/li><li>Sportsmen support nearly twice as many jobs in Arizona as Raytheon, one of the state\u2019s largest employers (21,000 jobs vs. 11,000 jobs).<\/li><li>Annual spending by Arizona sportsmen is nearly three times more than the combined revenues of The Go Daddy Group, Sprouts Farmers Market and Cold Stone Creamery, which are some of the state\u2019s fastest growing companies ($1.3 billion vs. $481 million).<\/li><li>The economic stimulus of hunting and fishing equates to $3.8 million a day being pumped into the state\u2019s economy.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>*<em> \u201cHunting and Fishing: Bright Stars of the American Economy ~ A force as big as all outdoors\u201d (2007) &#8211; <\/em>Congressional Sportsmen\u2019s Foundation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ethical hunting is everyone&#8217;s business<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tree stands and blinds near waterholes can be exciting places to encounter wildlife and are legal tools to aid in your hunting experience and enjoyment. However, if you have ever hunted from a tree stand or blind on a waterhole, you\u2019ve probably encountered other hunters wanting to hunt the same area. You may even have had a negative encounter with another hunter when deciding who was going to stay and hunt. Here are some important tips, ethically speaking, to keep in mind when planning to hunt around a waterhole on public land:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Waterholes on public and state lands belong to everyone, and everyone should enjoy free and equal access.<\/li><li>Responsible hunters should respect other hunters\u2019 privileges. They<br>should leave the area if another hunter gets to a waterhole first.<\/li><li>Ethically responsible hunters will always yield to another hunter who<br>has reached the waterhole first on any given morning or evening<br>during the hunt.<\/li><li>Simply posting a sign\/notice on or near a waterhole does not give<br>anyone the exclusive right to hunt that waterhole; the hunter actually needs to be present.<\/li><li>Hanging a tree stand near a waterhole does not entitle a person to<br>exclusive hunting rights to that waterhole. It may be unlawful to leave tree stands hanging or blinds set for extended periods of time.They may be considered abandoned property and subject to seizure.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cFirst Come \u2013 First Serve\u201d is a common courtesy that should be used when more than one person wants to hunt the same area or waterhole, regardless of who has a tree stand or blind in the area. The Arizona Game and Fish Department reminds all hunters that confrontations in hunting situations can involve firearms and hot tempers. Whether you are in the city or next to a waterhole, any threats, intimidation, assault, or disorderly conduct can result in citations, arrests and\/or jail time. Do not allow yourself to get into a situation like that \u2014<\/em> <em>ethical hunting is everyone\u2019s business.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"
