Default RE: pedator hunting is it ethical

Hunting them is one thing, but blatant waste like that' s not right. If you' re going to shoot them, do something with them, it takes NO TIME at all to skin a fox or yote, if you case skin them, it would take you less than an hour to make a hand warmer, tan them and cut the legs off, sew the leg holes shut, then get some sort of warm filler, for foxes, you' d need two of them, yotes usually one, take the two fox hides, get them so you can slip one hide inside the other, with the fur-sides together, then stitch up the one end and all but about a quarter of the other end, flip it inside out so the fur' s out now (on the outside and inside of the muff) then start packin in filler, and stitch up the rest of it. Sew on a belt an ya got something to keep your hands warm while in the stand or blind next time. If nothing else, you can make a couple bucks on it selling them too, and they make good gifts for hunting buddies.

Be creative, you' d be amazed what you can cook up to make out of their hides, just to get them used up, heck, you can sell jacket skinned pelts for wall hangings and such for good prices even. Just don' t go leaving it in the field, it' s not hunting then, just killing, and there' s nothing ethical or excusable about that.
