ethics,

I just try to respect the area I am hunting & the people I am hunting around.

Give a fellow hunter some elbow room. If you show up to hunt a spot & someone is already there, let them have there space. Iran into a guy lastelk season, he was at the spot I wanted to glass for my eveninghunt. I spotted him &started walking back (1/2-mile)to my truck. I killed a cow elk 60-yards away from my truck.
I am glad I was polite & left that hunt area alone.

Also if you see a wounded animal kill it. My wife killed a wounded antelope fawn last year. She did it because it was the right thing to do.She burned her tag on the fawn &felt good that she did the right thing.

Setting your tag on fire on top of an infant antelope. Now that is just plain unethical.

Depends what the antelope is on. If the antelope is also on a fire then you're good. It likely means you're having a few beers and the bbq is almost done.

Maybe, but drinking beer around a fire, sounds rather dangerous. I wouldn't think that putting your buddies at risk by getting alcohol to close to open flames is ethical.

Being as awesome as I am is probably viewed as unethical.

But I assure youit is not.

Isn't it unethical to have youth hunts? After all, what did those kids do to us anyway?
