I disagree with " ethics is what is legislated" - Laws are legislated and ethics should not be put into legislation what-so-ever.

For example... You hear a gobbler and begin to sneak up on it - in the process, you see a guy working the bird (calling, the bird responding and coming). You proceed past the guy, and set up between him and the bird he is bringing in and nail the bird. That is completely legal, but not in the least bit ethical or sporting... I think there could be cause to say ethical hunting and sporting hunting are similar, or even the same, but legislative and ethical is not.
