Ethics
 

I haven't seen an ethics post for a bit. So I figured I should start one.

Lets argue the ethics of having ethics. How do you guys feel about that? Make sure you tell us how you really feel and don't hold back.

Sorry I just felt like being a jerk.

Being a jerk is unethical ...;)

RE: Ethics
 

Unless you are an ethical jerk, then as long as your ethics hold up to ethical standards, you would be considered an ethically unethical jerk. Speaking ethically of course.

RE: Ethics
 

Ahhhhhhh ... but it depends on the situation! :D

RE: Ethics
 

That's true Tony. I guess it all comes down to if the situation is ethical. I mean, is it really ethical for me to be talking about ethics with I am accutally making everything up? Some would say no, I can deffinatly say that I Don't Know.

RE: Ethics
 

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

But I assure youit is not.

RE: Ethics
 

Based on the color of your shirt... I'd say you have a wildly inaccurate view of yourself. But that would be a bit unethical of me.

RE: Ethics
 

It would be unethical of you to hold any opinion other than "Dan is awesome."

;)

RE: Ethics
 

Can we just leap-frog right over "ethics" today and go right into a

"YES.....I would knowingly break a law while hunting" thread?

[8D]

RE: Ethics
 

Is it a stupid law? And yes Dan you are awesome

RE: Ethics
 

Only if you ever go one mile over the speed limit :D

RE: Ethics
 

Speed limit? In the woods?

Tha dog won't hunt.

RE: Ethics
 

Dan ... not only is THAT quote unethical ... it's subjective .....:D

RE: Ethics
 

LOL. I needed that.

I just noticed that you look like you are dropping a deuce in your pic on PT's avatar, highly unethical.

I also saw a perm/ mullet combination earlier that was quite disturbing although I wouldn't say it was technically "unethical".

We'll call it a Permullet.

RE: Ethics
 

Thats very ethical of you, Greg. ;):D

RE: Ethics
 

Booo. [:'(]

RE: Ethics
 

NEW ... your post .... ethical or not... is just plain wrong ..... and thanks for the visual [:'(]:D

RE: Ethics
 

LOL Not as much as dragging that deer an extra 10 yards ;)

RE: Ethics
 

Unless you killed it out of season to feed your starving family .....:D

RE: Ethics
 

Obviously a legend in his own mind!

RE: Ethics
 

Dear God,
Please bring hunting season SOON, as I believe even PreacherTony is starting to lose it!!!

RE: Ethics
 

Who???? Mwaaaa? :D

Hey Doug .... you comin to the Erie GTG?

RE: Ethics
 

No Tony, I don't get out too much, working full time, plus being "Daddy-Day-Care" so the wife can as well, I'm lucky to hit a local pool hall once a month, let alone take a "road-trip." I wish, but one the little ones are a little more "independent," I live the life of a "houseslave." ;) Having a 1 and 3 year old, keeps me more than BUSY!!! I suppose that's probably unethical as well, but I know "when to hold 'em" and "when to fold 'em."

RE: Ethics
 

No ...... what IS unethical is assuming that others think that something is probably not ethical ...[8D]

RE: Ethics
 

Well ethics are not laws.

They're a persons own set of self emposed rules or guidelines. And since my ethics are mine, and your's are your own... then you're only unethical if you compare yourself to me as I know mine are the REAL Manlaw ethics. If yours are different you therefore must be unethical.... but only if I know your ethics. If you don't tell me it's assumed we're both the same.... maybe... there's a chance we're both ethical under my standards. AND the worm turns in both directions. If you don't know mine then it's assumed mine are like yours and we're both ethical under your manlaw ethics. So to stay in tune with everyone else and make everyone ethical, I have no ethics. Don't tell me yours. Don't anyone tell anyone theirs and it'll be assumed we're alike and the whole world will be ethical once and for all and we won't have to endure anymore jerks making ethical threads. LOL

OK, that's it... if NO ONE has any ethics we'll all be good.

RE: Ethics
 

Even though no one is taking this seriously, anyone wanna bet this ethics thread makes it over 10 pages?

RE: Ethics
 

Sorry ...... yeah, you guessed it ........ betting is unethical :D

RE: Ethics
 

That would be unethical. Dang PT beat me to it!

RE: Ethics
 

:Dyeah Greg, and I'm on dial-up now! :D

RE: Ethics
 

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.:D

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.

RE: Ethics
 

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

RE: Ethics
 

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.

Tom

RE: Ethics
 

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.

RE: Ethics
 

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