I think this should be a fun topic. I do not want to see any bashing though.

What are your ethics and why?

1. I will not shoot a mother with a baby- I do not enjoy the kill and I do not want to see a baby run off alone.

2. I will not shoot a turkey out of a tree- There is no challenge to me.

3. I will not use bait or scents while hunting- I don't believe in baiting animals or attracting them with the use of scents.

4. I will not shoot animals during their breeding season- My dad owns several hundred acres. I can hunt coyote 24 hours a day 365 days a year. I will not hunt them during their breeding season.

5. I will try to make a clean shot on every animal- If I saw a coyote running across the field chasing a rabbit, and I know I can't make a clean shot, I would let the coyote go.

6. I will not prop the deer's head up in my truck- I do not believe that it is right to show off a kill.

7. I will not do a deer drive- I do not feel that this is hunting.

Please post your ethics, and remember, no fighting.
