NY,
Nothing like a boring friday at work and thoughtfull discussion. At least it is boring today.
Hunter ethics can be difficult. 90% we probably all agree on, there are varying shades on some of the rest. To some, hunting on a greenfield is bad, to others, it's not. To some, hunting over corn is bad, to others, it is not. Hunting Deer with dogs, using modern firearms with scopes, treestands, you name it, somebody has an idea that this or that is not "ethical". You ought to get in on some of the discussions that bowhunters have. The compound guys think that crossbows are evil, the recurves think compounds are just vertical versions of crossbows and the lonbow guys think they are ALL evil modern contraptions and not good.
Botom line is that we all need to support each other and as long as it doesn't cross clear lines of ethics help each other out. That is why I asked the basic question, at what point does an enclosed area "become" ethical. To some, you, the opinion is that it never is. Ok, my opinion is different, no problem. We discussed it and can continue constuctive, zen like, philosophical positions.
