What stuck out in your post was the thoughts about ethical hunters and hunting. Ethics seems to be a dirty word in our society. <BR/>Maybe Meggie is right, a course in ethics should be required to get a license.<BR/>Thoughtful and interesting post.photowannabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11760961275666768173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31331017.post-27588021947733818692007-12-06T10:14:00.000-05:002007-12-06T10:14:00.000-05:00I have also heard many hunting stories.

The persons like Billie and you are few and far between.<BR/><BR/>I well recall overhearing a conversation among a group of seasoned hunters about a muzzle loader elk hunt in Colorado. I don't remember if they killed antything or not, but I do recall that they "put lead" in several bulls which they did not recover.<BR/><BR/>This is the dirty little secret that is usually not told in the hunting videos and seldom in the pages of a magazine. Instead many stories are whitewashed to removed the unpleasantness. One thing is certain no one ever admits this on camera-at least to a news organization.<BR/><BR/>You should tell about that Game News article that amazed both of us sometime! That is one of the rare exceptions where it made it into print!Willardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059945499957721902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31331017.post-39182520504636372222007-12-06T09:52:00.000-05:002007-12-06T09:52:00.000-05:00I think all hunters should be requred to take a co...I think all hunters should be requred to take a course in ethics as well as hunting/firearms.

I practiced until I had bacame very proficient shooting acurately but even with that the I found the injury rate too high. I worked in an archery shop for a few years in the mid 80's; listening to the hunters stories I doubt if the recovery rate of hit deer was even 50%.Coy Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17961295214970687017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31331017.post-56820685846277839372007-12-05T22:07:00.000-05:002007-12-05T22:07:00.000-05:00And usually the idiots that dont take a clean shot...And usually the idiots that dont take a clean shot are the ones that will shoot YOU & swear "I seen a white tail flag"!
