I agree...it is silly to call his actions unethical.

Have you killed all of your game in one fatal (ethical) shot??

If you say yes, then you are a liar or a lucky newbie.

I have seen plenty of people use 300, 308 with less than desirable results due to shot placement.

I would somewhat agree however, that shooting a deer with 22 is NOT for everyone, and we should regard your experience as one anecdote, and perhaps not to be expected every single time.
