Ethical or unethical?
I have been debating on taking my dog out to a field, where I know there are some birds, to get her use to hunting again this year. I don't hunt this spot because there are not a lot of birds here, but it is public land. I would be walking without a gun, just practicing the calls and getting the dog into a groove again.
Is it unethical for me to do this knowing someone somewhere will want to hunt this field come opener?
Is it bad to hunt a dog in a field with birds when you are not shooting any of them?
Is it bad to hunt a dog in a field where there are NO birds?
