BuzzH,
If we're going to justify longer shots because its a meat hunt, then why not allow people to use foot snares for elk? If filling the freezer is the only justification for your method of killing an elk, then I seen no reason to limit the method of take at all...bust out the snares and get on with it.
If it's legal go for it.
But, there has been an ethical line drawn, and why its not legal to foot snare elk for the freezer.
I don't think I read about ethics in our regulations.
I think its that way for a lot of hunters, and why there is so much disagreement in how we go about our hunting.
How they kill their game is important? I remember Ted Nugent saying if hand grenades were legal he'd use one. I wouldn't use one, but I agree with the statement for others. Ethics are an individual thing. I am fascinated by folks who tell others, "You ought not to tell others not to do thus and such." What did they do. They just told someone not to do something
