RE: Your ethics?
Above all else I hold the rules of FAIR CHAES on the top of my pedestal. I respect the animals I hunt to the highest depree, without them I can hunt nothing.
A close second is respect for the woods and the property of others. Hunting lands are diminishing in my area and IMO alot of that has to do with "sportsman" showing a complete lack of respect for the land owner and his land. I am constantly picking up trash that I come across and making efforts to reach out to land owners who are kind enough to allow hunting on their lands.
There are also many other rules I follow but these are my two biggest.
