CATERPILLAR Report post Posted December 6, 2019 Is it ethical to have 10 people follow a specific deer or elk watching its every move and then call the tag holder to fly in and shoot just before it sheds its velvet and disappears? Maybe not ethical in the eyes of some, definitely legal. Every year we see the results of this. Is it ethical to set up a blind on a waterhole and never hunt out of it? If its legal doesn't matter if you think its ethical or not, just have to suck it up and stick to your own ethics and quit trying to change the ethics of others to match your ethics. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jim Report post Posted December 6, 2019 My thought on quail is I don't make a deer run before I shoot it, why would I make a quail fly? lol 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alpinebullwinkle Report post Posted December 10, 2019 My father-in-law grew up as a boy during the great depression era. He was often given two shotgun shells by his dad and told to go shoot a dinner of quail for the family with only those two shells. He would only shoot when the quail gathered close together to insure he could get about 8 quail per shot. This meant only shots on the ground or on fences were possible. When I shot my first quail with him (after about 6 shots) and it turned out to be the century, you can imagine the verbal smack I had to listen to! He taught me the value of only shooting "skillet shots"............. which remains my goal to this day when I hit the hills for quail. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AzRaised08 Report post Posted December 13, 2019 Wow that’s what terrible! Really hope it was a Champ permit, though with the vehicle and multiple people firing it’s still upsetting. In 27, I was talking to a guy camped next to us and he said he saw multiple hunters taking 1000 yard shots and firing all over the place. In fact, a group of hunters even ended up shooting the tree they were posted under since the shots were going everywhere. You should only be prepared to shoot the shot you know you can take. Shameful otherwise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
