There are those who shoot Pheasants flying with a bow....Should they do the same with running Deer? Deer are much larger, so it should be easier.....this ethics get more complicated with passing time, or post.

It’s winter. I’m soon to have a knee replaced and in the mean time, spend time sitting with a Polar Pack wrapped around it,..so it seems reasonable to resurrect a philosophical, August thread.

My first reaction was, a sportsman swatting water fowl on the water is anathema (nothing related to academic). However, I wouldn’t hesitate killing a bull elk or buck in its bed if given the opportunity. It was. And I did.

Assuming, they’re legal, I imagine our disparate views are based on the hunting culture we were raised in, how things were done. Propriety, and all that.

True, and ethics possibly based somewhat on whether one is hunting out of necessity or for sport.
I don't think the duck cares either way.

I have not hunted waterfowl in many years but when I dud I took a friend for his first time. Ducks decoyed and landed. As we watched them swim around I suggested that he shoot a big drake. He wanted to shoot them flying so I clapped my hands and they took off. He missed three times. We laughed about for many years and although he passed away in 2016 it still gives me a chuckle.

If you’re shooting ducks on the water, ground-slooshing quail, pheasants or grouse, you’re a true piece of chit moron..


Or hungry with 2 shells to your name

Once you've decided to shoot an ungulate, why does its posture matter?

Thats exactly the point he is making....

While I prefer to shoot them in the air, I am duck HUNTING/killing after all. So i take them how i get them. Normally, jumping tanks in S. Az, we shoot the first shot on the water and then all hell breaks loose.

Lot of the western states allow 22 rimfire for upland hunting. In SD the gfp only allows the use of shotguns for hunting upland birds. Doesn't have a damned thing to do with ethics or sporting behavior it's all about selling the resource to well heeled nonresidents and using it as as a revenue tool for big business and state government at the expense of resident opportunity...mb

Growing up in Maine we had Ruffed Grouse and Partridge. Ruffed Grouse were hunted by snooty flatlanders from Massachusetts, and would only shoot them on the wing after being flushed by a dog. The locals shot Partridge sitting in an apple tree or on the ground, giving zero fuggs what anybody thought of it. Here in Alaska most everyone shoots grouse with a .22, and many hunt Ptarmigan the same way. Again, with zero fuggs given about what some uppity prick thinks about it. Meat in the pot tastes the same.

You missed the point, it wasn’t sporting, it was sitting in a tree…
