While I tend to agree that a first deer for a young hunter would be preferrable in a "classic setting". A boy on stand in the early dawn, suddenly a snap of a twig draws his attention to the............

But I also take great exception to some of you guys with your "road hunting " condemnations. I really hate these ethical question threads, I define my hunting first and foremost by if it is legal. After it is determined to be legal then I make personal choices beyond that.
I hate a true road hunter, one that hunts from the road shooting deer off land that they do not have permission to hunt. They are breaking the law and I have no use for them.

But let's take this ethics question a bit further. So it's a bad thing to take advantage of a legal opportunity to harvest a deer. These guys hunted legally and "ethically" all day long and were on the way off the property when they spotted deer in the field, I'm gonna assume that xd9x19 assessed the safety aspect of the situation and decided it was safe and they discussed the option of getting out of the truck and trying to get a shot.
For you guys that say this is a bad thing, let's change one factor, instead of coming out in the truck let's say they were walking out on the road and spotted the deer in the field. Or let's say they were standing by the truck getting ready to leave and spotted deer in the field.
Let me tell you boys, if I'm in the mood to harvest a doe and was presented with this opportunity I only have one word to say about it........BANG!!!!
