I dont know if I am?have not made myself clear,let me try once more:

Ethical:To take game in a manner that brings about its demise in a quick and honorable fashion.

Sporting: to NOT take unfair advantage of game by means of equipment,baiting,trap,ect.and therefor reduce that game to the stature of slaughterhouse animal.

Example of one w/o the other: A rifle hunter can dispatch (ethically)@ 300yrds. but gives the animal no chance.

When I sold/gave away my guns, it was because there was no sport in hunting with them.

So the following:

A bowhunter must get closer to the quarry to dispatch it quickly with a razor sharp broadhead.(I.E. ethical sport hunting)

I am seeing some here that are not grasping what I am saying,hope these examples help!
