Let's say it's a matter of integrity - doing the right thing, for the right reasons, even when no one is looking. Kind of like checking in your deer or turkey. I retired from law enforcement last June after 31+ years of service. Been in fights, car chases, shot once and was involved in a lot of the other exciting stuff you see on TV cop shows. What you don't usually see on TV, and what is going here is the disdain that honest, trustworthy, law enforcement (or in this case ethical hunters) feel for unethical, dishonest people (bad cops or illegal or irresponsible hunters) who look the same as they do, but give the entire group a black eye....or maybe I just missed the whole point....
This forum has been a wealth of information for me since I joined, so I am sure some of the guys or gals have been in your very situation. You just gotta pick which load you wanna try. With the ammo like it is, best of luck finding shells to try....
