I think anyones ethics will be governed by what you feel inside. You have to live with your decisions. I was always raised to believe it was unethical to shoot a bird on the ground. The ethical thing to do is shoot while the bird is still flying. Recently the laws in my state were changed regarding duck hunting. It's now legal to shoot ducks sitting in your decoy spread. It's legal but it don't seem ethical! If you're dove hunting and the dove sneaks in behind you and by the time you see him he is perched. You can flush him and shoot before he gets away and it's legal but it don't seem ethical when he's hardly flying at all. On the other hand, if I'm hunting turkeys and I happen to flush a gobbler and shoot him, it's legal but it don't seem ethical. In some states it's legal to spot game from the road using a vehicle and shoot from the road. It's legal but it don't seem ethical using a mechanized vehicle to gain an advantage. Just my opinions, thanks!
