The funny thing about these ethics posts is that there are guys that will gladly leave a deer to rot in the woods because it is the "legal" thing to do, but let a guy come on this boards in Oct or Nov and say that he got a bad shot on a deer and after spending three days tracking he couldn't find his deer.....these same guys will be the "ethics" police all of a sudden and will start blabbing about how we "owe it to the animal to find it, afterall "we did make the choice to take its life"....
