RE: Enough with the Ethics and Fair Chase babble
Well, since I feel I am being called out for my post on the hog head shot, here it goes.
I really don't care if anyone hunts over bait, in high fence, or whatever as long as the methods are legal. I don't care what size animals you shoot, as long as they are legal. But despite whatever elseanyone says, I do feel the when you pick up a weapon to kill another living thing, you also pick up the responsibilty to kill that animal as cleanly as possible. Taking low percentage shots, on purpose, to me is childish, irresponsible, and unethical. That particular shot discussed in the other thread is one with a low enough percentage of success, and a high enough chance of maiming, that I feel it should not be taken at all in a sport hunting situation.
