In parts of Alberta you’d better be a mile away or you’d be getting neutered……
I’m very aware of where the OP was talking about. I grew up in the Okanagan and have fished and hunted there and the west Koots all my life. I’ve also hunted Alberta as recently as Sept of this year. My nutz are intact! I am also very aware of what is ethical or not, and more than that, I know what respectful is.
MY point was that you CAN get along with your fellow hunters, and if circumstances work out, you CAN hunt closer than a mile or even 400 yds. In a perfect world, we wouldn’t need to though.
Back on topic, cudos to Kuiper for asking the question in the first place.
If we’re not supposed to eat animals, how come they’re made out of meat?
