I am not surprised that the "disagrees" outnumber the "agrees".

I did think however that some of the"disagrees"would have more substance to them than what has been discussed. Dogpiling the OP and calling or implying thathe is a jerk doesn't really explain the reasoning for shooting a 2 1/2 instead of 1 1/2 when given the opportunity to do either. But I take no offense or take it personal. I just find the answers shallow.

And not to beat a dead horse but one last question, because yourwhole deal on being judegmental and what that rellly entails gotme thinking.

How do you determine what defines quick, ethical and moral without making judgements? If you ask a large enough population of hunters, you will get varying degrees of definition forall three of those.Below are two real life examples.

#1 I have good friends that are gun hunters that don't endorse BOWHUNTING because they cannot honestly come to grips with how it reflects their ideas on all three of your above mentioned criteria.

#2 I invited a friend and his 14 yo old son to gun hunt the last weekend of the season as his son has limited opportunity to hunt. I rarely allow gun hunting but I had a few more doe that needed to be killed in order to meet our deer management goals. I gave them the go ahead to shoot whatever they wanted, including any size buck. The father was with his on at all times

They elected to rifle shoot a doe "Texas heartstyle". The deer died quickly, but IMO, it was not ethical or moral because over 1/2 of the meat was ruined because of their decision.

On the other hand the father was perfectly okay with the decision seeing as though I wanted some more deer killed and his son hasn't got to hunt much. They actually ENJOYED themselves and felt good about it.

I will not be inviting them back this year based on my judgement on how these hunters handled themselves. Am I wrong in making this judgement?
