Hunter Ethics

[fabsroman]

TJ,

Your post brought back some memories. It was the first time I was ever hunting with my uncle, my father's brother, and we were pheasant hunting. A hen got up and one of my brothers took a shot at it. My other brother and I got on him about it, but my uncle stepped in and said, "Don't worry, I would have put him in the bag too."

I used to waterfowl hunt with a guy that said he would cut the breasts out of a mis-identified duck and take them to the dock that way because the fine was a lot less for cutting up the duck than it was for shooting the wrong duck.

Haven't had to deal with the deer issue yet.
