But I'm curious, who are these non-hunters hanging out at HNI?
No that's not what anyone has said, Don't twist what other people say to fit your needs
.
WHat we are saying is it is ethical when a person puts themselves in position to take the best shot possible in order to kill that animal as fast as possible.
If you do everything in your damnest to put yourself in that position and still have a bad shot, thats not unethical. Thats hunting.
However,
It is unethical to put yourself in a position that you are taking a marginally successful shot.
He's posting those pictures to show you what happens when you take marginally successful shots... bad things happen, and deer hunters look bad to non deer hunters.
You don't gotta be a hunter to see a deer running around the woods with an arrow in it. You just got to be someone out in the woods hiking around.
