So all laws are ethical?
Interesting question. I would say yes they are. When enough people become morally outraged about a law, they can vote, protest or lobby to have it changed. For better or worse many laws have been changed because of moral outrage. As for the friend with the turkeys I would say it is unethical to break the law even though it feels morally right to him and may seem that way to others. But remember morals may not help you avoid the fine.
I always remind folks that there are 3 levels of moral adherence...the most current is always what the common folk think....lagging behind that by a few decades (or more) is the laws that are created to close in on the common values...then behind that by another few decades (or more) is what religions teach as "morally correct"...
This thread is a perfect example of how quick differing opinions and negativity get posted vs anything positive. 4 pages of replies in under 24 hours.
Post on this site about an actual successful turkey hunt and you’re lucky to get even 10 responses.
And yes I see the irony in me responding here.
Interesting perspective.
Ethics comes from common values and are independent from both state and religion.
We can argue that we embrace religious values, but I believe religion embraced common values and just preserved them for 2000 years.
Values came before religion.
Same with the state.
State imposes what it wants really and always teeters on the boundaries of what's ethical.
What time is dinner?
If the hunting posts had more pics and made it easy to do so I'm certain there would be way more hits! Right now its of legends to figure out how to post a pic! I've tried off my phone, off my Ipad and just gave up! LOL I know Gate has tried to show many off an I-Phone but mine wouldn't do it?
Sorry off topic but back to OP.
If by trapping you mean luring a Tom into an enclosure in your yard and preventing his departure... feeding him an ideal diet and thereby domesticating him... maybe luring in a few hens as well... raising chicks and and retuning more to the local population than are removed... I think it sounds perfectly ethical. You could have turkey for Easter and Christmas as well then.
Outta season is just that - outta season. Thats how it will go in court.
