Jorge, You are correct that hunting ethics are usually pretty fluid and situational for most folks.
A few years ago after my daughter left her Antarctica job she spent some time in New Zealand hunting on her own. Growing up the way she did she had opinions on what constituted "real" hunting. She was eventually offered a chance to shoot stags from a helicopter for a meat operation and was a bit hesitant at first but thought what the hell, might as well try it first. She says it wasn't hunting as she knew it but it sure as hell was fun !
Then she got a chance to work for one of the top guides in NZ and saw how put and take "hunting" worked as well.
She wrote a pretty good article about it, comparing the two with no real bias and sent it to SCI. They accepted it at first, but that was when a few of the higher-ups started getting bad press about their proclaimed ethics and they decided not to run it.
