Ethic Question about road hunters VS real hunters

[Redthies]

Lol, let's bump this classic discussion.

Really? Did you have to???

If vehicles scare off the game you are hunting why do they get shot from the road or run over? I've seen animals in town, seen them when I'm working building a lease, seen them while farming. Heck I've even seen them while I'm target practicing. I haven't seen many when I'm walking. Probably not making enough noise I figure.

I’ve seen the same big bull moose twice this week within 50 yds, right next to the highway as I’m on the Jake at 6:20 in the morning. Generally 1 dead in the ditch every other day between Dawson and Taylor.

About 20 years ago a partner and I were hunting up the Table River road, we had just come out of the bush and a fella was driving up the road in a Chevy Blazer he stopped and chatted us up , the usually chit chat that hunters exchange . We were close to his drivers window and could see inside . He was quite over weight .
After he pulled away I said to my partner
“ For **** sake he was drinking a beer “ My partner said “ Yep but did you see what he had on his feet “ I said “ Nope “
Patrner “ He was wearing slippers “. All kinds out there , LOL !

So at 75 and a bit unsteady on rough ground now I’m supposed to quit hunting because it’s not ethical to go for a drive in the bush ,maybe shoot a few chickens and see some game?

NO need to quit hunting because of mobilty. hop in your vehicle and enjoy your hunt it is not unethical

Yep. Got goats and elk running all over the mine. Can see them from my d11. A guy would think the 3 o'clock blast would chase them to nfld but nope they're right back there again.

You still working for my uncle?

About as ethical a question as bow vrs crossbow.

If you use a vehicle to get to anywhere near you're going is that not a contributing factor?

Maybe you hike out right from home?

What about scouting from my kitchen window, shooting from my gate post and driving out with my tractor to pick it up? Why make things harder then it needs to be?

Exactly.
My blueberries were getting demolished every year by deer before CWD
Always thought it would be ethical to just crossbow one or two.

But really. Who gets to decide how much foot travel is ethical enough?
It sounds like something the Liberals would try to regulate

Yup, at least until the gravel program is over. Going to have to head out of town to run crane and make some $$ though.
