If it is supported at all, it will have to be supported on the principle of individual responsibility.”

Beyond that, say, when an action is legal but ethically questionable, or when (as Aldo Leopold long ago pointed out) no one is watching, hunter ethics is an individual responsibility.

No one can worship for you. You must do your own waiting upon the Lord.”
