I read posts on this site regularly by people that "put down" others by calling certain practices or methods "unethical". What book of hunting ethics are these people using as their "ruler" to judge what is or isn't ethical?
Bud, if you really dont know, you never will. I am not sure, but have a feeling, you do somewhat. Basically its called common sense.
It may be legal toshoot deer innose,but is it ethical just for your amusement? Thats an easy one. It maybe legal to use a 22LR on deer, but is itethical to goout and cap off 10 rounds at a deer just to see whathappens? Another easy one. There's a bunch of em.
Lets turn this around, lets say some guy says baiting is slob hunting. somebody gets thier feelings hurt. Why not the guy who baits just understand thatthis is a forum foropinions, and say to himself,"don't hurt me, justan opinion".
