OHbowhntr,

I made that statement based on the fact that an ethical shot defined, for me personally,is making the decision to take the shot opportunitypresented that aREASONABLE person would believe gives them the best opportunity for a quick, humanekill AND recovery. To me this shot would not offer that opportunity....especially with archery tackle and a tough blood trailing job that, the possibilityhaving no exit wound would produce....again.....I must say this is JMHO.....just my honest opinion, meaning this is how I feel .....not facts, OPINION.

Many shots that are lethal but not ethical would be shots that hunters take purposely to the bucks head, trust me, if you have been on here long enough, you know that some people think this is an ethical shot. I don't believe that taking neck shots are ethical but are lethal. Bear in mind, I am speaking about archery shots. Too much room for error that could lead to a wounded animal. I feel like I owe it to the animal to make the good decisions about my shot choices. Therehave also been a few folks on here that believe thatpurposely taking spine shots are ethical....I would hope that Ido not have topreach aboutwhat unethical decision that would be. Again, my opinions, not published verse or law.
