I'm going to open this thread to post some important information. If anyone replies to it please keep comments on the highest level so as to avoid the unfortunate turn the recently closed 'hunting ethics' thread took.
Since the late 1800's the commonly recognized US authority on hunting ethics has been the Boone and Crockett Club. The club was founded in 1887 by Theodore Roosevelt and its ethicists have guided the modern conservation movement for 120 years. Their website has links to important discussion on the doctrine of fair chase.
It is vital that thinking hunters be aware of and conversant with real hunting ethics and to be able to explain them to members of the common public. Otherwise the only voices the average person on the street will hear will be those of the lunatic Animal Rightism movement.
Those who are concerned about hunting ethics, please consider joining the Boone and Crockett Club and doing your part to protect our rights and live up to our responsibilities. Thank you.
