fastetti, i like the points that you bring up. For me, personally, i believe each hunter has to draw the line in their own mind of what is ethical to them.

For me, i draw the line at using scents and calls.

I know that deer are geared towards sex during the rutting months, BUT, it is not required to live. Deer HAVE to eat food, without exception. Yes, sometimes bucks will go days chasing does and not eating, but thats not normality. I have been a big fan of rattling and using scents/calls the last 3 years and have only had 2 bucks respond out of the 40 or sothat i have seen in that time span. One i killed, the other i couldnt get a shot off at. Once again, its just the individual line that i have drawn in my mind about what i will, and will not do.
