I've had eastern hunters tell me that shooting deer at 400 yards is not ethical hunting. Really??
Where we hunt in the west for mule deer you better be able to hit a standing deer at that distance.
The norms of hunting differ from area to area depending on state laws, the animals hunted and the type of country hunted.
I've also been told hound hunting for bear is not a fair and ethical hunt. After talking to that person for a few minutes I found out it was not allowed in his home state so he thought it was wrong.
Attitudes differ from place to place.
