Ethical hunting...what an oxymoron. And what's even sillier is hunters who worry about being...ethical while hunting.
You are at the top of the food chain. You make a decision to go out, take an animal's life, eat it's flesh and turn its skin into a hat. You think you're ethical now because you took its life at a certain time of the year with a certain grain bullet? You're not ethical, you're a predator, just as nature intended you.
Can you imagine a bunch of lions sitting around on the Serengeti plains and worrying about what would be the most humane and ethical way to kill a couple of zebras?
I get such a chuckle out of people who are tormented by some sort of liberal imposed guilt for hunting and as a recourse they decide to start imposing some restrictions on their activities, which make no real difference in the end result (dead is dead), just so they can sleep better at night.
The only reason there should be restrictions on hunting and fishing is preservation of habitat and resources, not some morality BS.
I hunt, shoot animals for whatever reason I see fit, fish and poop in the woods. I am at the top of the food chain and I am going to enjoy the ride.
If you can't deal with the guilt, stop hunting, shooting and fishing.
