[QUOTE="upacreek, post: 1026994, member: 59039"] Bigngreen, maybe we are on the same side of this despite how you have portrayed yourself. You won't say, so I will give you the benifit of the doubt. Your tactic is less than productive. If our sport cleans our own house and WE set the bar where it should be, it shows the public what we tolerate. The whole point to this is that we don't condone, or tolerate poor hunting ethics. I wish I could just be happily ignorant to how they recovered the elk and the one single piece of meat portrayed to get packed out. Not knowing would have made me think, "Good job buddy, awesome shot!" But despite how good the shot was it is overshadowed by failing to take responsibility and follow through. As long range hunters (or any hunter, archery included), we need to set the bar for our fellow hunters. We don't need big brother stepping in because we pat a guy on the back when he fails to be responsible. I say call him out. I will turn in anybody for breaking the law. And I have. What other method holds our toes to the fire to be honest and ethical? Big brother? The only time we need to do what's right is if the wrong people see it? As long as we can get away with it and nobody knows it's okay? No thanks, that's how we ask for more rules plain and simple. I have seen this in other sports, it's sad for sure. [/QUOTE]
