In anticipation of all the borderline mocking posts yet to come... andI hope they don't but if they do, bottom line is- it's expected and human nature to mock, laugh, or dismiss something we don't understand. If you do, I don't blame you. We are allflawed by design.

It is as I said, a state of heart and mind that I push on nobody but myself. The same hunting ethics that you carry each time you go intoyour woods is basically the same but evolved(doesn't mean better) ethics that I carry into mine. You respect the land and don't litter right? You don't take head shots at deer with your bow right? You don't take frontal shots right?

Someone else who does not have the same code of ethics will probably take a head or frontal shot. They will toss their used handwarmer on the ground. They will do other things that in their mind is not that big a deal. Those things though, are a big deal to you. They are to me as well.

This additional thing I do, is a big deal to me. If you are proud that you are an ethical hunter in your mind, then understand that I am proud of my own beliefs and practices as well. It really is that simple.

disclaimer: (always gotta add one of these ) I'm not saying anyone is saying anything or that anyone is holding me from my values and beliefs. I was just making myself clear here.
