Extreme example perhaps, but fence lining someone's decoy spread from the roadside ditch is also legal, and I do think most hunters would agree it's not particularly ethical.
To me, it's a "no harm, no foul" as well as "within the law" issue. |
Legallities and ethics are two differen things, and even though something is legal does not mean tha think it s right or that I even use that method if i do think it's "okay", for instance, would never fenceline another spread, heck wpuld never even set up aywhere near another spread even if were legal.
We also stay well clear of another group of hunters when going after upland birds, and although there is nothing illegal it, would NEVER shoot over another hunter's dog unless I asked first, and even then I would offer the bird to the dog's owner.
