Certainly was not a concern when USA was founded. Early colonial hunters took game any way they could and typically easier the better! Jacklighting was a common practise for collecting venison. Dan'l Boone thought nothing of shooting every single deer he could. Davy Crockett never passed up a shot at any bear.
Plains Indians were not concerned about hunting ethics. They commonly lit large prairie fires to drive game. They also used various traps and snares for big game.

Most of these were hunting for survival.

So here's the deal. Get out of bed in the morning and go hunting naked.
No boots; deer don't have them.
No drawers, not even a jockstrap.
No gun, no rifle, no knife, nothing.

There is nothing wrong with using to tools to equate the situation. Animals have hides to keep them warm. Keener senses, faster moving, and generally more athletic. But when you train an animal to walk up to your rifle, and stand there while you drop it, you are harvesting. Not hunting.
