Default RE: Is it ethical?

I can vouch for fieldmouse inviting members along to hunt.


To the question. I do believe you should take a couple / few out. Ask around and if someone wants some meat tell them you will harvest it for them but it is up to them to take care of everything else. You would be doing your part helping reduce the herd as well as providing some venison to others who would like to enjoy it.

I am sure sharp shooters would ruin your hunting spots a lot faster than shooting a couple does. Wouldn't you say?

Look at it this way. If you take 3 mature does, you are taking about 8 - 11 deer out of next years herd. Shooting a few does goes a LONG ways.
