Red Boar - I did the same poll on AT - got 300 responses, and same results. 88% in favor of hunting inside the fence.

Shame, but while a lot of us talk a good game about huntinginside a fence, our opinion changes when it's prepaid or free. Ethics for sale.

I don't doubt you, just extremely surpised. Hmmm...

Here is the main point I am trying to make: Let's say that you had the opportunity to rob a bank and:

1. guaranteed no one will get hurt
2.you will take home a ton of money
3. there is absolutely no chance you will get caught
4. you promise to do something good with some of the money
5. bank manager is a real jerk and has it coming
6. they turned you down for several needed loans, etc. etc.

These factors should have no influence on whether you think it is right or wrong and whether you do it. Now, please understand that I am not comparing this hunting opportunity with bank robbing...definitely not. Just saying you have to make your ethical decision separate from whether it is a business associate, free or paid, fun to do, etc. Don't let yourself be confused...make your decision on what your little guy inside is telling you. Again, not judging either way, even if it sounds like I am.

Apples and oranges here....shooting a deer inside a fence won't get you a cell mate that looks like Germ

You are correct, apples and oranges...tried to point that out. Tried to sum it up by saying that there always are outside factors that shouldn't place your ethics and standards up for grabs. They are constants...by definition, if they constantly change with the prevaling breeze, than they are not standards that you live by.
