You mean the Fred Bear who took shots at running mule deer with a bow???
I'm not getting that statement. Are you saying it is unethical for anyone to take a shot on running deer?
It would be unethical for me to do it.
But if Fred Bear honest to the Lord believed in his heart he was good enough to make the shot... then is it really unethical?
Moreover, he certainly would not be rolling in his grave as we talk about shots at a mere 60 yards with equipment even more advanced than what he helped bring about; espeically when he was shooting moose at 112 yards. I'm not entirely sure what kind of shot Fred Bear was. I'm sure he was good, but probably not Howard Hill good. He was more of a businessman and showman. A marketing genius for sure, and a very good man.
But rolling in his grave over 60 yard shots.... I think not....I suspect that to him, a 60 yard shot would be about like me shooting a Scottish pair on the Skeet Field in front of Tom Knapp.
