Ethical ? (long shot)

[sisu]

Do what ever you feel is right. I really doubt any of us try to be unethical. We do what we feel comfortable with and that is that. Hell, Fred Bear shot either a goat or a sheep that he couldn't see completely because of the curve of the terrain, so he did a mental image of the animal's body took the shot with "said" arrow going over the knoll and viola he did a perfect kill. We all have opinions and we should respect each other as such without being rude or obnoxious.

I was actually refering to the pro-staffer     I know what works for me and ideas and advice are great and everyones opinion counts but when some people draw the line of ethical and unethical for everybody it almost makes me laugh . If you have hunted very much you know evey situation is different and im still learning new things all the time . Anyway , no hard feelings

The only line I was drawing was the distance at which my brother could effectively group his arrows.... I can shoot 80, he was good to 50 under great conditions.. why is that funny? past 50 he was not proficient enough to harvest game so we agreed no shots past that under any conditions...... did I confuse you rougheye?

Im also curious where I said any miss is a unethical shot? nothing I said says that what so ever... everyone misses.. when I was younger I missed a ton of deer.. 13 in a season one year I believe, but the only one I have missed in the last 6 years was a doe last year that I had to be at full draw on for over a minute, once I had the shot I pushed left and missed by 2 in, we all miss from time to time, even "pros' but certain conditions are not applicable for good hunting situations and should not be hunted in or shot in, like a 30yrd shot on a animal in 15mph wind.. not smart...  and a shot I personally would not take...... my bros range again was based on what he was capable of before the season.......  if you cant shoot good enough at a certain yardage  then you  should not ever shoot that shot... case closed

Let's try this..........

Learn from your misses (over confidence maybe?  trying to prove something to someone?)


Hunt as if you only have ONE arrow.....use it wisely
