Quote from: Farmboy27 on April 15, 2016, 05:51:43 PMWith all the talk about ethics around here lately I was wondering a few things. I hunt coyotes but I'm not really serious about it. My best friend is. So is it ethical for me to shoot a coyote while turkey hunting even though I wasn't hunting for it? Most guys would say "yes kill them all". What about the fact that it might be a female with pups and the pups will suffer and starve. Cruel to say the least. How about buying or leasing ground where others hunted and telling them they can't hunt any more. Because someone can't afford to buy or lease ground is it ethical that they can't enjoy their favorite hunting spot? How about food plots. Is it ethical to try to keep the wildlife (which belongs the people) on your property and off your neighbors. I'm not bashing any of the above. I'm simply trying to say that every one has their own "code" and that ethics are far from cut and dry. That's why we follow laws and not ethics. So many times I read "I wouldn't do it unless it was the end of season" or "I would do it if I really needed a bird". If it's wrong in good times then it's still wrong in bad times. Every person has to have his own ethical code and live by it and let others live by theirs. So long as it's legal then we all should be sticking together.

You ought to wander by a trapping forum sometime. WOW. It's one of the reasons I love this site. But obviously it still happens.
