What's legal and what's ethical are 2 different things. If you wrote legal rules for every little thing it would take forever to get things passed. Therefore, states rely on good judgment by the hunters without imposing their will too strongly. They rely on us to patrol our own ranks on many issues and make ethical decisions without having to patrol us too much.

Not doingso is asking for the anti's to find something that they can use to take 1 small thing away. Keep taking enough small things and soon the big ones are gone too. I've been reading a lot of articles from the 1994, 95 years of Bowhunter Magazine and it's surpising how it was over 10 yrs ago when it came to archery and how much we've actually gained since then. We do not need to start giving it back with unethical decisions like this. Look at some countries where they do not allow archery at all because of wounded game. Do you want that?

The guy asked our thoughts and none of us are telling him how to hunt. We are expressing our dissatisfaction in an unethical act. I'm guessing you've done something like this with your response.
