As I had originally stated,I don't care one lick what others think of how I described what I would do given the circumstances described.I am completely comfortable with my ethics and morals and for some here to assert their moral superiority is arrogant at best.The character trait I value most in people is humility so I wont go on at nauseum about the way I live my life personally and professionally,suffice to say I am completely comfortable with it!
To assert that some one is less a hunter,sportsman or person because they retrieve an animal across a property line is laughable,as well as it is to imply that any one of us would steal someones else's property(tree stands,game camera's).
Seemingly we have the market cornered on ethical perfection among us,anyone here ever break a traffic law?I guess it is okay to drive at excessive speeds endangering public safety,but jeez don't cross a property line deep in the woods to recover an animal you have a responsibility to.I grow tired of the holier than thou crowd and many of them who live their life hypocritically.What is thepassage from the Bible "Let he is without sin cast the first stone" I believe? Like my dad used to say "nobody's perfect except you and I and I am not so sure about you!
Some of you need to come back to reality and exercise some decency and common sense!
Asan aside, Fran you are welcome to hunt with me any time,any one who has read your post's over the years know's you don't duck the hard or unpleasant stuff.Others would be fortunate to have your moral compass!
