Personal ethics, laws and hating on other hunters

[welsh]

Nobody has said that.

It is a discussion.

It is what the OP was getting at. But some on here have insinuated that they will decide what is Unethical and Ethical regardless if it is legal.

I agree with you in relation to the politics and the usual suspects who start it generally it starts as a anti Liberal post and goes down hill.There is a off topic section they can go to bash each other and keep it out of the other sections,but the moderators ALLOW the attacks to start and then there is the response.
The anti liberals are well aware what they are doing and are doing it for the fun of it.I personally would never change my political leaning based on what I read from the other side,but would be happier if they did not start the bs. I will not start a political attack but do not mind responding.

X2.. Gilroy, they expect you to respond, they want you to respond, they need you to respond. Yet complain when you do. LOL

When I was a kid in NB it was considered unethical to bait deer. Do you know anyone who baits deer?

What is Unethical to one person may not be to someone else. Who decides what is Unethical if it is legal is it you, me or someone else?

How about taking a 223 to fill a bull moose tag..According to the op we all should be supporting it because its legal. How many on here do you think would be supportive?

My original post was for people to stop attacking people for hunting, you bring up a 223 for moose, ok, may be valid, then what about a 30-30? Will you go at someone for wanting to use a 30-30? Will you attack someone for hunting with a bow? How about not hunting with a bow? You see where the original intent it? If you do not have something nice to say please refrain from saying anything.

If someone asks if the 223 is an ideal firearm for moose then please give your opinion but do it respectfully, this is not how things are being written on the forum, people are essentially being told they are stupid or worse for using something they do not agree with or running into problems in a hunting situation.

Each individual can reach their own conclusions on personal ethics. It's damn low standard to let the government decide your ethics for you. A debate on ethical positions is fine but no one should be required to "stand up" for any and all practices simply because they are legal which is what the OP is demanding.

Funny Fox bahahaha, as even giving your opinion on this forum may get you attacked flamed because others are asking for opinions. Oh well, wipe your tears and move on Fox

It appears what should have been a reasonable discussion has changed with the tone of defensiveness. Saying Fox was 'demanding' and words like suppression sure do create the 'tone' here. No one is being suppressed nor should they feel that way.

Sure you can drop a Moose with a 223 and yes it is legal and if you want to do it go ahead. But personally I think a Moose is a large animal and a 223 is just to small but if you want to do it go ahead, some people do especially way up north. But seems to me it might be dangerous shooting a Turkey off the roost, well I'm not to worried about the Turkey attacking me.

Holy Christ ladies and gemtlemen, the basic jist of the original post was to have some civility. Everybody on the planet has differing opinions, thats what makes discussions interesting and educational. Keeping an open mind and reading and listening and educating yourself makes you a better person. When you resort to name calling, questioning someones integrity and putting a person down for their opinion well quite frankly you have missed the mark and made yourself a target. Have an opinion, defend it intellectually and be open to other people's opinions and facts, thats the jist of the op.......IMO......bring on the insults.....I am old school, they dont mean shi* to me. That being said, I grew up with the saying sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me.....as opposed to the new verison.....sticks and stones dont break my bones but names will always hurt me. My user name is my name, I dont hide, like me or hate me I dont give a f$@$.
