The Purge.... Why not???

A high powered in the chest cavity will usually kill a deer. A fixed broadheads in the chest cavity may not have the same effect so to kinetic energy. In that logic is it less ethical to shoot an arrow at a deer? For the record, I sling arrows to, just play the devil's advocate side.

Interesting, but definitely 2 entirely different sides of the coin, due to the totally different types of weapons and their method of killing.
Hemorrhage is the killing method of a bow, thus extreme sharpness of the broadhead plays a huge part of the killing power.
Hydrostatic shock from a firearm's projectile is what kills. Going beyond that shock, becomes trama and an animal can run off "dead on its' feet". I used to work with a guy that always said, "There's no such thing as too much rifle." Overkill was not a word that was in his vocabulary.

I suppose it could be said that a firearm has a distinct advantage, for marginal shots....IF that firearm favors the big enough or bigger caliber for the type of animal being hunted.

I believe largely in fair chase and proper ethics.

And there lies the conundrum. We first must define “fair” and “proper”. My guess is we will not arrive at the same definitions. And isn’t that the beauty of freedom and liberty? So what makes your moral ideology of fairness and ethics superior to mine or any other persons?

The truth is, it’s not. What’s ethical and fair to you is between you and your big guy. What’s ethical and fair to me is between me and Joe Pesci.
