Classic Heart Lung Shot or through the shoulder

Once again speaking as a Hunter Ed instructor, we teach that shooting a doe with fawn/fawns in Oregon, with a doe tag, is legal but unethical.
Going onto private property to retrieve a wounded/dead animal is trespassing in Oregon which is illegal.
Take off your camo, leave your gun in the rig and contact the land owner. Explain that it is deer season (not everyone may know it), and explain what happened. If they will not allow you on their property call your local game warden and have him go with you back to the owner. He may be able to help you. You can not enter private property in Oregon without permission for any reason. If the owner refuses, tough luck for you.
All the more reason to make the killing shot in the vitals.....daleJust curious.... since you bring up ethics... and I'm not trying to sidetrack this thread, but if you're teaching something as unethical, why is it legal?

Aloha..

Rattus58, We are all brought up with different ethics. We explain that it is legal.
Hunters Ed in Oregon is not only safe gun handling , it`s also teaching young people to be responsible and ethical hunters.
I`m sure you must be aware that only 5% of the population are hunters, 5% are avid anti hunters. The other 90% are on the fence.
By teaching ethics and responsibility we are trying to give the hunter a better image to the general public.
BTW. Do you think every law that is passed by our legislators is responsible and ethical?
Sorry, no I.....dale
