Lets be sure not to confuse what is legal with what is ethical.

For instance, in my part of Missourithe DNR hasenacted a 4 point restriction this year. If I shoot a spike, that would be illegal even though it was legal last year. That doesn't mean its unethical.

Breaking games laws can range from failing to wear hunter orange all the way to poaching and hunting by spotlight. To even suggest all violations are of the same severity is ridiculous.
