Because its the law.No seariously,my grandfather,and dad taught me how to respect wildlife and the land a long time ago.I dont do anything illegially because I dont want the regreat years down the road.I know I wont get any satisfaction out of taking a live animal illegially,just for bragging rights or whatever.I want to harvest the animal by outwitting him.I want to walk in the woods and see the clean land today as I do years down the road with my kids.
Without good,clean,ethics,what do you have---nothing---thats why I am teaching my young guy about the outdoors and doing things legal,by the book.
Hunter(my little guy) asked me a while ago,he said ---Dad,why do people shoot deer at night--I said,Because these people have no ethics and are not afraid of the law.Maybe thats the only way they know how to hunt.
