RE: My first TURBO deer
I am sorry you feel that way, I was brought up with a lot of rules from the Bible. One had to do with judging others. I still live by that rule. All I can say is that your opinion of me or your judgment of me missed by a mile.
Most everyone in the country watched the presidental debates. and yet after they were over. half the country swore Bush won and half swore that Kerry won. How can millions of people with varying degrees of intelligence, watch the exact same events and come out with an even split on what really happened. Sadly many people look at the world and events with preconceived ideas that cloud their judgment. This is not a fault, but just human nature.
Look at how politics are done. Make a personal attack of your opponent , then try to drive some point home. This is done on both sides. I have found this same mentality is pervasive in our society.
Put your opponent down in some way then this is supposed to make your point the right one.
All I can say is if you think the shot I made was unethical, you are basing it on your preconceived ideas. I was there I saw the shot develop and I took the shot based on my ethics which is to make a kill as quickly as possible within the limits of my skill and equipment. The result is my shot worked as I expected. At 15yds this was a very low risk shot for
me and the results are what they are.
I really believe the ethics of hunting should be discussed, but personal attacks are of little value.
In Canada it is perfectly acceptable to Bait bear , In most of the US this is illegal.
In some states you can track deer with dogs, some states allow scopes and electric illuminated sights , some do not, some allow mechanicals some do not. These ethics are legislated.
Perhaps we should have state laws legislating where we can shoot deer with the bow and arrow and at what distance. Perhaps if you wound a deer you should pay a fine????
Perhaps we should have a hunters shooting test just like a drivers license test.
Lets say if you can not shoot a 4in group at 40 yds and a 2inch group at 20 you fail the test and can not get a hunting license. Would that be ethical?????
