Why is it anyones responsibility to be critical of legal behavior? You talk about situations where being legal is not being ethical. So far I've had two examples that were ludicrous even in the example.

See here is why I don't suggest you comment on ethics when you have no idea of what you're speaking, and you alluded just now to it yourself. If YOU, had confidence, hours on the range, were competant, and were able to deliver the shot where you want it, and you wanted to hunt with that gun on deer or whatever, why is it up to anyone to say... "gee.. he's hunting deer or pronhorn or whatever with a 218Bee... isn't that unethical"? What do they know of how proficient someone is? You don't and YOU DON'T, nor Skeet or anyone else.

If you see specific examples of either illegal or unethical behavior that is one thing, and gut shooting a deer DELIBERATEY I agree, would be unethical. Hunting with a 22 is not, in states that permit that kind of stuff.

I agree with you, some rules just don't make sense. If you find a wounded deer you can put your tag on it or not. If not and your state says you cannot shoot it, puts you into a moral delimma, doesn't it.

Aloha...
