This is the kind of thing that every hunter safety course needs to spend a bit of time on.

I'll admit I will critise other hunters behavior, even at times when what they are doing is "legal", if it appears to me that what they are doing is in the long run the kind of behavior that will do damage to our freedom to hunt.

It comes down to the old question of knowing you have a "right" to do something because it is "legal" but also realizing that for very good reasons it's best not to exercise that right. The idea is that you exercise self control over the smaller things so that a majority of some sort some place does not decide to "vote" away a more important "right" as a way of dealing with you shabby, yet "legal", behavior.

That's a kind of dificult thing to explain, especially for a guy who sells fish for a living. Hope it makes sense................
