Hunt however it's legal in your state, anyway that makes you happy, and don't feel like you have to tell anyone else how you hunt. You and everyone else will be happy.

I agree to a point but the reality is that some so called hunters have no ethics whatsoever. Just because something is legal doesn't make it right. There are folks that would love to sit over baitpiles or reap and kill every turkey they possibly could.

True. However, if it's legal in a certain state, who are you, I or anyone else to say don't do it? That's the problem with ethics. It varies from person to person. Legal and illegal don't. That's why I've always been of the mindset that if it's legal, and you want to do it, have at it and I wish you luck. That's not the same thing as saying that I'd do it also.
Sometimes hunters are their own worst enemies. There's already enough people trying to put a stop to hunting altogether. If we stop a certain method of hunting just because we don't like it, all we've done is making the anti's job easier, and put them one step closer to their goal.

I do understand what you are saying but at the same time, some practices (reaping and baiting) push so far  beyond fair chase and paint hunters in such a bad light that they are worth standing up against in my opinion. Not an issue that will ever be solved....

I am me and I will criticize most that employ tactics that I consider to be beyond the bounds of fair chase, whether legal or not.

Just because it's legal doesn't make it right.

Imagine that!! You criticize anyone who doesn't think, talk, act and hunt like you.
