To me, the only bad thing about hunters is the invisible line of "ethics"

Failure to adapt to the situation
Perfection is a dream, practice is hard work, and achieving a goal is making that goal a reality.

when you stop learning new things.
We should always be trying improve, even if that means getting out of our comfort zone.

Great point. I have known many guys over the years that others consider “great” hunters but reality is they were only successful because they crossed that invisible line over and over. That’s the true definition of a bad hunter.

What are a couple of examples you’ve seen or are aware of?

Shooting after hours and tagging bucks with other peoples tags are the big ones. I have no use for guys that break the rules for their own personal gain and then try to act like it's no big deal. It's easy to be successful if you cross the ethics line and give yourself advantages over other hunters.
I think we can all agree that poor ethics=bad hunter. This may be a topic for a different thread.

Trying the same thing and expecting a different result (insanity). Not being open to change or different approaches.

I have another one I’m going to throw in the ring! Arrogant, braggers, blow hards hunters are definitely on my list as bad hunters!
We all know that guy

And people who obsess over pixie dust and not woodsmanship & learning everything there is to learn about your prey and then never stop learning!
