Quote from: g8rvet on March 04, 2024, 08:55:40 PMI hunt how I like, when I like and where I like (always legal and my idea of ethical) and don't much care what anyone thinks about me. HOWEVER, that is not what the OP asked and it has spurred a good discussion and helps people think about their actions and what they consider ethical, which I believe is likely what was intended. Most of the folks on here are just answering the question from their own perspective. I have not taken offense by anyone saying what their ethics are, because that was the question. I can't think of a single person that has said their ethics should be everyone's ethics. Maybe I missed one. I see it like water whacking or ground swatting ducks, to me that is for kids and people that can't shoot good. Why hunt them if there is no challenge? The thrill and skill is to decoy and call them into the decoys, not pass shoot them like a noob. But I don't judge others that hunt that way, just not for me. Seems silly to take offense because someone's ethics are different than yours if they are not judging your ethics, only explaining their own.

No stalking." to emphasize that is is not legal to creep within shooting range of a bird and kill it.You do not have to make a call to legally harvest a gobbler in Pa.
