Not my way to enjoy a hunt, but it is only unethical if one is hunting illegally or beyond their capability to use the equipment they have.


First, I don't think Kingston was blaming you and I for anything, he's just saying that the general non-hunting public associates all of us with the questionable actions of a few. That's "guilt by association."

Second, I think your admonishment "let's not over-dramatize" is ironic coming from someone who just said bullet manufacturers are
blame for what some people do with their bullets.


Smokepole's reading is exactly what I meant when using the phrase "guilt by association". Guilt by association, while illogical, is a pitfall humans too often fail to avoid.
