You have to be careful what you associate with hunting around here lately. Everyone seems to have their shorts in an uproar........
Shooting deer in drives isn't really hunting. Blah.
Shooting deer from a treestand isn't really hunting because you are higher than they are. If they had necks like giraffe's it would be more fair. Blah.
Shooting deer from a hole in the ground isn't really fair because you're lower than the deer. It would be different if deer slithered like a snake, more fair. Blah.
Shooting deer over food plots isn't hunting. (deer can't stay and eat in their house or order carry out). Blah.
Shooting deer coming to/from plots isn't hunting. Blah.
Shooting deer over feeders isn't hunting. Blah.
Shooting deer heading to/from feeders isn't hunting. Blah.
Using too accurate a weapon isn't hunting. (deer are unfairly, unarmed). Blah.
Using binoculars isn't hunting (deer don't have same advantage). Blah.
Smoking while shooting deer isn't hunting, it's unfair to the deer, they can't buy cigarettes or even roll their own - darn hooves. Blah.
What questionable "hunting" practice will be questioned next? Should you shoot a blind deer? I mean it can't even see you or where to run. Would you shoot a blind deer?
LOL!
I mean come on! Everyone does their own thing, their own way. So long as it's legal where they're doing it - no harm. And if it is legal where you hunt, and you don't judge it to be ethical by your own personal standards, no one can force you to do it - "JUST SAY NO!"
