Of your personal hunting ethics, which do you consider to be your most important...an ethic that you never ever even think about compromising on.

It is hard to explain but as an example, I would say that my biggest "ethic" that guides me in all of my hunting adventures is not losing downed or wounded game. If I shoot a deer I really go over the top to find it. My friends will always call for help and advice with their deer and I never say no. Even if I have to cancel something to help out, I do it. I just can't stand the thought of a deer wasted, lost to the coyotes or worse, dead someplace that non-hunters can find it.

I just wanted to hear what "internal standards" guide other hunters.
