Jeff,
What I said wasn't directed at you brother. What you said in your post was good advice, and it was delivered in a tempered manner - not as a criticism or an accusation.

I've only been a member here since early 2007, and I've seen it so many times. Someone does something that's frowned upon by some and suddenly it's like someone yelled "DOGPILE!" I don't have any idea what this young fellows motivations were or even if he's telling the truth, and as I said, I don't care, but I can't stand to see folks throwing that "ethical" flag when it shouldn't be applied.

In deer hunting, there's "legal" and there's "illegal". Barring that, it's all up to personal opinion. If someone wants to hunt over bait or shoot young bucks or fawns to fill their freezer, etc, etc (pick any of dozens of so-called "unethical" hunting actions) and it's legal, I say go for it. I'll be the first to congratulate them on a successful hunt. It's their hunt, not mine. I'll do things my way and I don't care what anyone things about it. I don't break the law while hunting. That should be good enough for EVERYONE.
