Low-minded hunters brag about a kill

HUNTING ETHICS -- The best hunters I know are an honor to the sport from the field to the street.

They hunt with dedication and precision, get the job done, give honor to their quarry by treating it with respect.

The members of SEAL Team 6, despite their extensive training, could take a lesson from my best hunting companions.

They get our highest respect for serving our country, but they lose all that respect when they break their own code.

Assassination is not a job for braggers.
