Uncle Norby, this is not a personal attack on you, but to say that knowingly breaking the law is unethical is crazy to me. Basically, that means the the Department of Natural Resources is on the same level as god and religion. Game laws change from year to year, If something is ethically wrong that doens't change just because the law has.

A lot of people are struggling to get by right now. If someone shoots a deer to feed their family (without a tag) and has no other way to provide for his family, I cannot consider that unethical.

Now if we change gears and start talking about someone who is breaking laws merely to gain an advantage on killing a monster buck, then that is a different story.
