Hunter Ethics
Pet peeves brought this to mind.
What is the ethical/proper thing to do.
You shoot an out of season duck or one that puts you over the daily limit. (canvasback) What do you do? If you take it in you are at risk of arrest and/or fine, if you throw it away you waste a resource. What do you do?
Another blind shoots a duck/goose. They don't see it go down but you do. Do you retrieve and give to them or do you keep it. Same thing with a cripple, they shoot but the bird makes it to your blind and you finish it. Yours or theirs??
You shoot a deer, it goes onto property you know is off limits and the owner will not allow access. Do you sneak in and get the deer or take a chance the CPO will help make the recovery??
You accidently kill a hen pheasant??? Leave it lay? Take a chance?
