I think the point here is that you can be unethical but still not do anything illegal. If we abide by the..."if it's legal, then it's OK", then maybe we're missing something.

Case in point: A hunter tells his buddy where he's spent a lot of time scouting and is convinved there's a big buck hanging around. The other guy beats his buddy to the spot, thus depriving him of hunting his area. Whether he shoot that buck or not is beside the point...what he did was legal but highly unethical.

I think if you're ethical you won't breakhunting laws, now on the other side of the coin......
