Agreed. The CO is a non-issue unless you're one of the extremely unlucky ones who happens to get caught.
It's a decision each of us would have to make based on our own beliefs. To me, it's that simple.
Edited to add that I don't think there'd be anything for you and God to work out. I truly believe that in his eyes, you'd have done the right thing despite the fact that it was against the "law" down here.
Sooner/Shadow.... does that help explain my point of view?

Shoot it if you can find it. Don't tell anyone and if you do accidentally tell someone; shoot them too, as the only way to keep a secret if two people know something, is if one of them is dead. Hope you like my advise.

Hey PT.....got a question for ya.....coming up.
I've often said that "Ethics is doing the right thing.....when even the wrong thing isn't against the law".
That works both ways, though
Here's a scenario.......
Family is rowing around in the city lake in a rented rowboat. Little girl stands up on her seat and falls into the water. You start to jump in after her......but notice the sign that reads "NO SWIMMING ALLOWED".
Do you do what's "right"......or break the law?
In each situation before us (Huntingson's and my hypothetical).....I trust myself to makeTHE correct"ethical" choice.

Like I said before .... if someone chose to take the animal out .... I would not think any less of them ...... I just would go with Bruce's response to the original question ....

Fine, I'll explain, what ruling means to me. It's not whatman feels is just but what they are under conviction to do from the Holy Spirit. A man living according to the God's will automatically will be led to do the right thing in all facets of his life

Let's debate it ....... ruling over the creatures by YOUR definition will lead to people killing said animals for whatever reason THEY feel is just ........

I'm not going to get into a biblical debate, but I stand FIRMLY behind what I said because I believe it to be the truth. Read my signature, the responsibility of ruling over creatures means taking care of them and ending an obvious case of suffering is part of it, not just taking care of them when it means you get a trophy on your wall. Get real, you guys are making it much more complicated than it is. Before this thread I'd never had believed HUNTERS would thinklike this.

I was looking through my trail cam pics from the last couple of weeks and I saw numerous pictures of a fawn doe whose rear left leg is dead. The leg is swollen, the hair is falling off, the skin is discolored and quite nasty. It is not mangled as if it was broken, it just seems it got some terrible infection that is definitely going to kill her. So, there inlies the dilema. Should I shoot her out of season, obviously breaking the law,to put her out of her misery, or do I just let nature take its course? I am really torn by this. It is hard to see an animal suffering like that. Especially one that I have such an affinity towards. So, what would you do?
I was going to post pics, but it really is something you don't want to see. It is disgusting.

Why not let nature deal with it? I don't understand that?
You're saying the ethical choice is essetially poaching an animal. Thats sort of an oxymoron.
