This post is half in response to the " ethics" post by Duckmastor2 and half to voice my opinion a related topic.
I don’t think a lot of you see what is going on here. As many of you have already said... you hunt private property. A lot of these hunters, yes contrary to popular belief they are hunters, may only see one deer the entire season. I have a friend who shot the leg off of a deer and he made an effort to finish it off. He was not the best hunter or the best tracker. I trailed the deer and killed it. It has a lot more to do with opportunity and anticipation than it does with compromised morals. It is a momentary lack in ethical judgment brought forward in most cases by years of fruitless labor. These hunters get to a point where they are willing to take a shot that isn’t a high percentage shot because they feel that it is going to be their best shot.
With that said bragging about it is a whole other matter. I in no way support this type of hunting but it is a reality that we have to live with. In part machismo and trophy hunting are to blame. These guys are resting their namesake on their ability to bag a deer. They feel that they must harvest and animal to be successful and they will take pot shots to do so.

In the course of human affairs, we make decisions based on what we find acceptable. We all have different ideas of what is acceptable and make decisions based on that. Without fail these decisions will be contrary to what others deem acceptable. There will always be someone willing to go further than you and they create their own critics by doing so. Just as you have a major problem with these hunters, a wildlife photographer may not support hunting and a PETA member may hate it. There is always going to be someone that will be able to tell you that you are wrong in doing something. Does that make it wrong? NOPE. One person may find it to be an atrocity to even disturb deer in their natural setting, while other will openly kill them for food.
I’m not supporting these people actions, in fact I am openly against this type of hunting. But at the same time I extend a small amount of understanding as to why they do this. I guess what I am trying to say is that we should not harass fellow hunters for the strategy they employ to harvest an animal. We should embrace them and try to change their ways rather than fueling the fire for people who are entirely against even the most ethical hunter alive.
I would be a hypocrite if I were against these peoples rights to as they please in a law abiding fashion.
