The only ethics in hunting are those you abide by yourself within the confines of the law. In my province you can not hunt with a dog for wounded big game. In most other provinces you can. In Ontario you can chase (hound) deer with dogs. In Saskatchewan you can bait deer. In Saskatchewan you must be a resident and hunt wild pigs like any other game animal yet it is classified as an exotic animal instead of a pest. In the Yukon and NWT you can use sub caliber rifles to shoot big game. In the USA I expect, from my limited knowledge, the laws between states are vastly different. It used to be that ethics and morals were the foundation of our laws. Today it is quite the opposite and so you must decide on your ethics based on the law, it has become a personal thing and I can not fault anyone for how they hunt if it falls within the laws.
