Everyone has THEIR ethics,stick to them and you will be an ethical hunter.
hmmmmmmmmmm
so if I go out and buya setup compound tonight from a pawn shop, an odd mix of arrows and old broadheads, don't practice shoot and go out tomorrow morning and shoot at/wound a couple of bigbucks you're fine with that, right ?
I mean, I'm legal in doing it, its my personal ethics, not yours - right ?
Ha!
I'm sure that TFOX assumes that the average hunter has something resembling a normal amount of common sense and intelligence. We all know that there are a multitude of folks who seem to be lacking in those areas.
Merriam-Webster defines "ethics" as:
1 - the discipline dealing with what is good and bad and with moral duty and obligation.
2 -a set of moral principles: a theory or system of moral values.
3 - the principles of conduct governing an individual or a group.
4 -a guiding philosophy
5 -a consciousness of moral importance
"Ethics" arepersonaland
extremely open to interpretation and debate (don't we know it
). Ifsomeone went out and bought your setup as indicated above and went out hunting, would it be ethical? I guess it's totally dependent uponthat particularindividuals moral convictions. I wouldn't agree with it,but it's not my place to judge someone else or attempt to force them to accept my personal beliefs and moral convictions as their own. If it's legal and they feel that is acceptable, then I wish them all the luck in the world.
