Interesting post-I believe that being "ethical" entails following the laws and regulations as they are written and pertain to what you are either harvesting or hunting. I believe that the Golden Rule is probably thrown in the mix as well. I believe in the quick kill and the use of all that I harvest or hunt and as such have carried a gun into the fields many times and not shot anything as I could not accomplish the above. So guess my opinion would seem to fall in the area that legal and ethical are probably tied together in some fashion for me.
