I spear pike - I selective harvest.
I hunt deer - I selective harvest.
I trap bobcat - I selective harvest.

I see no conflict with "ethics" in my abilities to selective harvest.

Nice job, Greg!

Agreed Greg. We toss back most fish. We release turtles from our traps don't make the grade. We let the red fox go we may not wish to kill.
It's our time honored trapping way of life and the balcony seat expert wouldn't know what that path is like.
