<-{- Report post Posted September 15, 2007 “Ethical” does not equal “Legal” and “Legal” does not equal “Ethical” This paradox has caused the formation and fall of every government in the history of mankind. Laws are between you and your Government. Laws are only as good as the people that wrote and enforce them. Ethics are between you and God. Ethics are only as good as YOU. Let’s stop confusing the two. That’s what we have politicians and lawyers for. Thanks, Dan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
az4life Report post Posted September 15, 2007 Ethical, Legal, moral, are definitely subjective.... a lot like politics. Opinions are that way also. Everyone has one and someone else will think it stinks. When I look at this rule, or others, I try to determine if what I am doing meets the "Spirit of the law" if not the letter of the law. I view the "attractant" and "Advantage" points to be from an "interactive" angle. Using radios or cameras for example should not be a problem before a season, while scouting, but communicating real time info During a hunt would not meet the "spirit" of what the law intended.... at least to me. Someone else might use radios and some code words to avoid breaking the law, but they certainly are breaking the spirit of the law even though they never say one word about game, they manipulate the situation to meet their own lack of ethics. Great topic, Sure wish I showed up to this topic sooner but I guess it's better late than never. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.270 Report post Posted September 17, 2007 so now according to -}-> (ain't that the same thing prince calles hisself now?) we gotta incorporate legal, ethical and spiritual? so i'm gonna go to heck if i use a trail camera and you think it's unethical? or you're gonna go to heck if i think the way you hunt is unethical? ethics are between me and me. don't put the creator into this. dang, if i'm gonna offend the heavenly hosts for huntin' i guess i'm hellbound for sure. look out satan, you got some competition on the way. i'm gonna knot yer tail, dehorn, brand, ear mark and castrate ya and kick yer butt right outta there and put in some A/C. when i kick satan outta heck where's he gonna go? AJ? ok now, one more time, slowly, ethics-is-your-opinion. you-can't-legislate-ethics. dang-it. Lark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
