RE: Distance Ethics?
I can see the majority of posters have what I feel are high ethical standards so let me throw the same statement back to Mac. I do feel ethics needs to be preached as often as possible. I relate it to the sin of silence when it comes to religion. You' ve got to state your beliefs in order for others to decide for themselves.
Mac, Do you feel an 80 yard shot on a live deer is ensuring you are make a clean, ethical, and quick harvest? Are you thinking or caring about the risks involved?
