I hear what you are saying - but your observations are being heard here by mostly hunters that feel the same as you. The guy shooting 5X at a deer running across a field at 200 yds with a shotgun - is NOT posting here! If he does - he don't usually last long on a board like this.

What's needed is more education - more people like you and me, and most of the rest of us here - pushing HUNTING ETHICS, and passing it on the the younger generation.

Bad shots happen - but they should never be expected. To loft a bullet or arrow is irresponsible (you and I know it ) - but not illegal - Its up to guys like us on this board to go the extra mile to help ensure our hunting future is an ethical one.............what are you doing to help?
