I never said you were unethical but you did say..."Personally I love ANY shot that kills the deer and puts food on the table." A gut shot is a killing shot and will put food on the table but it's not one I would recommend or one I would consider ethical if done on purpose. To me, hunting is much more than just killing. I don't hunt just for the kill and I doubt you do either. If ethics and killing don't go together then why do we care if we hit animals in the eye and hope they die? Why would we care if we lose 50 percent of them to bad shots? Killing an animal can be and should done with ethics in mind. Just my opinion.....
