You are missing the point.
It's not to define what is ethical or not or what is right or wrong.
My contention is any normal person already knows.
They want to do it any way and the know it's wrong already but they want the excuse to rationalize what they already know darn well is cheating.

Jacko,
Can you be more specific about the things that are and aren't ethical? Maybe you could enlighten more of us...........

People are different, except it or it will eat you up and could led to trouble.

My conciense doesn't bother me so I don't need to ask permission from you or anybody else. I don't feel the need to search the interent looking for people I can point at and say, "Well, look what he does?"
About all I have time to hunt in any significant number is deer, turkey, squirrels and beavers and I know with out a doubt when what I'm doing is so easy it feels like cheating.
When all I want to do is get rid of them, like keeping squirrels out of the fruit trees or off the house and beavers from flooding the land, then that's exactly the way I go about killing them. As quick and easy as I can.
I sure don't pretend I'm "hunting" them though or try to pretend it's anything other than eradiction.

HNIJustin my point is, I can easily tear down his "ethical" unless he hunts pure traditional on public land on the grouns with clothes he wove from natural fibers.
in light of that, can we all say hypocritical ?

Funny thing is nothing screams cheater more than some one screaming "I'm not a cheater" unless it's some one screaming "Everyone else cheats TOO!"

Change every "they" in your original post to "we" and you'll make a lot more sense. Right now ? You just sound like a rambling old fool drunk on Vodka.

Otherwise it sounds to me you are just making guesses or smear attempts on me based on your own life expiriences.
Let's discuss the topic as it is relevant to hunting rather than your personal expirience with the bottle. I'll take your word you are an expert in that area, it's just not relevant in a hunting forum.
