mmoore+FollowMost ethical hunter ever? 😂Okay hear me out... I might actually be the most ethical hunter in this group because I'm terrible at it 😅 My success rate is so low that I'm basically giving every deer, elk, and bird the fairest chase possible. Anyone else "ethically challenged" like me? #hunting #HuntingFail #EthicalHunting4114Share
tyler79+FollowNot every hunter is Uncle RonI’ve got nothing against the “Uncle Rons” out there—if a beer, plaid, and a .30-06 work for you, go for it. But my success comes from off-season prep: practice, tuning, fitness, and scouting. Every archery season, it pays off. Different approaches for different hunters—but I doubt Uncle Ron wants to hike 20km chasing elk with a bow. How do you prep for the season? #hunting #bowhunting #elkhunting #ethicalhunting 2718Share
paulcarol+FollowWhy hunters love animals more than you think 🏹Ethical hunters do more than just hunt—we fund conservation, restore habitats, and pass down responsible practices. Groups like NWTF are proof we’re often the first to step up for wildlife. Thoughts? #hunting #HuntersForConservation #WildlifeProtection #EthicalHunting110Share
Manuel Bright+FollowDull Broadheads Cost You Deer. Here's Why.Lost my first deer last season with a dull broadhead - never again! Sharp broadheads cut clean through arteries, creating massive blood loss for quick, ethical kills. Dull ones? They might kill eventually, but you'll have weak blood trails and potentially lose your animal. My rule: If it's not scalpel-sharp, it doesn't go in my quiver. Better tracking, faster kills, more ethical harvests. #hunting #bowhunting #archery #ethicalhunting #broadheads40Share
tyler79+FollowSmart hunters choose the bullet before the caliberLearned this approach from western hunters and it changed everything. Instead of picking a magnum and finding bullets, I started with the 127gr Barnes LRX that expands reliably at 1800 fps. Ran the numbers - 6.5 Creedmoor pushes this bullet to 2000 fps at 600 yards, perfect for my 400-yard max. Lighter recoil means better accuracy than magnums, especially for longer shots. Modern bullets perform way better than old-school thinking suggests. That's why guys are dropping elk with 6mm Creedmoors now. Sometimes "enough gun" is actually less gun with the right bullet. The competition world proved magnums in lightweight rifles hurt accuracy more than help. #hunting #huntinggear #bulletselection #huntingtips #rifles #ethicalhunting6627Share
tyler79+FollowAm I wrong about trapping being inhumane? Maybe I'm in the minority here, but trapping just doesn't sit right with me. The thought of an animal in panic, waiting hours with a crushed paw until someone shows up... that's not the clean, respectful harvest I believe in. I get it for survival situations - do what you must. But as a way to make money? I struggle with that when we preach about ethical, quick kills in hunting. We're supposed to respect what we take. Just my two cents. What's your take on this? #hunting #EthicalHunting #Outdoors 22Share
Manuel Bright+FollowWhy ethical shots matter more than the trophyOne thing I really respect about the hunting community—most of us do care deeply about making clean, ethical shots. It’s not just about success, it’s about minimizing suffering and showing respect for the animal. That’s something worth passing on to the next generation of hunters. Truth is, sometimes we take lives to feed our families or to protect our land. When that moment comes, the least we can do is make sure it's quick, clean, and without pain. How do you personally ensure an ethical shot every time? #hunting #EthicalHunting #Outdoors 2314Share
Eric Ford+FollowHow do you handle your hunt?🥩Curious how other hunters handle their game. Do you field dress and quarter it yourself, or take it somewhere to process? Do you freeze the meat, make jerky, or just keep the prime cuts? Also—how do you deal with the remains? Leave it for the birds or haul it out? Would love to hear how others do it. #hunting #EthicalHunting #GameProcessing #WildGameMeat137Share
Eric Ford+Follow🌱 Why hunting actually helps the planetHad someone question my hunting ethics yesterday, so here's the real talk on why hunting benefits our environment: 1️⃣ It helps control overpopulated species, cutting down crop damage and car collisions. 2️⃣ Targeting invasives like wild boar protects native wildlife and habitats. 3️⃣ Harvesting your own meat means less reliance on factory farming—lower carbon, less cruelty. Curious if others got into hunting for similar reasons? #hunting #EthicalHunting #WildlifeBalance 10612Share
