You mean the Fred Bear who took shots at running mule deer with a bow???

If anyone has The TRUTH 4 Bowhunting... make sure you watch the Bonus Feature Classic Fred Bear hunt. Yes, it is pretty cool.... but I was sort of suprised.

Lets not forget that one half of "Pope and Young" who touted his shooting of african game at well over 100 yards with a longbow......

Lets be frank here... what we as hunters deam "unethical" today was often common practice in the past. Anyone ever seen a punt gun??? That was standard practice in the late 1800s and early 1900s. My grandfather remembered hearing them boom in the Chesepeake as late as the second World War. There was the use of live decoys (Judas ducks) and shackled ducks. Baiting... not only effective, but corn sacks were handy to carry out the dozens of ducks you shot.

I'm rambling, but the point here is that we are a much more PC, ethically, morally (or so we think) society today than we were just 30 years ago.

Ethics by their nature are not laws. They are a set of personal standards. Essentially they are intagible.... a group of beliefs and practices. You cannot put a lable on it, or set it in stone.
