RE: is it bad hunters ethics?
If we're going to discuss ethics then maybe we should define EXACTLY what ethics means.
Webster's New World College Dictionary, Fourth Edition defines ETHICS as......
ethics, n. 1. the study of standards of conduct and moral judgement; moral philosophy 2. a treatise on this study 3. the system or code of morals of a particular person, religion, group, profession, etc.
But that's that particular dictionary's definition.
In the hunter safety education classes that I teach, we do a segment on conservation in which we cover ethics. We define ethics as MORAL PRINCIPALS OR VALUES THAT DISTINGUISH BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG; THEY ARE UNWRITTEN RULES THAT SOCIETY EXPECTS TO BE FOLLOWED.
So with that, if it is a written rule or law IMO it would certainly be unethical.
But if it is not a written rule or lawthen IMO it is each individuals choice.
As far as 8 years bad luck...........that's just superstition, wives taleBS.
