I understand that. But I don't consider eating at McDs or picking up some steak at the supermarket to be unethical. I'd guess you don't either, certainly most people don't (and most that do are vegetarians). If that is assumed I can't see canned hunting or other examples like hunting from aircraft (in this context illegal doesn't really matter, something can be illegal but not evil, or illegal and evil, it being illegal doesn't settle the issue), as something evil. At worst it would be distasteful and unappealing, at best it would be something that falls short of the ideal experience, fails to be challenging, and fails to "connect you to your roots". Note I'm assuming no mass slaughter of animals, no strafing runs of buffalo herds with A-10s etc. Of course "even less than ideal" and "unchallanging" are possible reasons to avoid it, and "distasteful' is a major reason to avoid it. I'm certainly not advocating, supporting, or participating in such hunts. But I can't see how it goes beyond "distasteful".
