Nope. Not unless you mind a criminal record & substantial monetary loss...oh, and there is that "ethics" thing, too.If the point of a "hunting" license is to kill deer, does it really matter how you accomplish that?

the hunting license allows you to take part in the state regulated herd management. not to just kill deer, you play by the rules or don't do it...
another question, next year will one have to put hunter orange on their house to hunt from it?
in the first part of the 1900's indiana allowed high power rifles & baiting was common, the deer herd was wiped out.
the deer you see today was brought in from PA ..
What makes me a criminal in indiana makes me a regular guy out hunting in Texas.
Ethics are up to the individual. If we're just "harvesting" deer, like we would cattle, then it doesn't matter how they get dead.
If we're hunting deer as a sport (which it appears we are) then I'm just breaking the rules of the game.
I'm not commenting on the way things ARE, just talking a little philosophy. Taking a step back and asking "why is the law the way it is, should it be the way it is?"
