At the risk of getting philolophical.......I think one of the problems is that in today's society, more and more people are becoming money rich and time poor and that situation along with other pressures tends to make an increasing number of people seek and expect instant gratification. Add on the fact that every hunter, hunts for his own reasons. Some want the pure challenge and thrill of the hunt, some unfortunately, just want to kill and some only want to get their name in the record book and a very few will even take this so far as not to care about ethics etc....... Like I said, it's very difficult to establish a set standard of ethics and/or for that matter, a code of behaviour to suit everyone.
As to restricted use of vehicles...... The areas I hunt in Selous for example, average close to 900 square kilometres each....... without being able to use a vehicle, you'd only ever manage to cover a fraction of the area. - As it is, even with the vehicles to take us into the areas we need to go, we walk somewhere between 6 and 8 hours on an average day.
