Re:Ethics - Poll 1 A Hunting over waterholes?
02/02/03 07:40 AM

I voted for depends, and this is why!

Though I see nothing wrong in hunting over water, especially if there are several sources of water, any more than I do watching a feed field or a deer trail between bedding, and feeding areas. Water is just one more thing every animal uses, and is no different than any strategy used to find an animal, that is available. Things like Gemsbok can do well without water, but most have to come to water, the same way they have to go to feeding areas.

I have seen posts by pepole who don't consider this as fair chase, yet they see nothing wrong with hunting the "HIGH SEASON" which is in the HOT, DRY months when water is starting to dry up,and grass is burned off, concentrating game, in areas close to water. I see this as the same thing.

I think more should be made of doing what you can to make a very clean, humane kill with as little suffering to the animal you are hunting, than hunting near water, or useing guns that are too small for the animal you seek. IMO, one should use enough gun, as suggested by Mr. Ruark! IMO, you owe the animal that much!

One thing I find distastefull is shooting anything other than culls,or problem animals from atop a vehicle!

...........Just my two pennies!
