[QUOTE="bwaites, post: 158770, member: 8733"] [b]Re: ethics?[/b] Well, it appears this thread title got changed! Ethics is a difficult topic, and one that should be closely followed by all hunters. While some would have ethics be a static line, the truth is that line moves depending on some circumstances. In hunting, one of those circumstances is hunter skill. For instance, I would not try to take a deer past 20 yards with a bow, or 250 yards with a rifle. Those are my ethical ranges. But I have watched video of bowhunters drop deer at 3 times that range. The kills were quick and every bit as ethical as any 20 yard shot I might take. I have watched video of Shawn Carlock dropping a deer or elk at 950 yards, the kill was quick and ethical by any standard I might employ. In hunting, at least, the line moves! Bill [/QUOTE]
