Huntin Question

Junior Samples said:

Now don't get me wrong and I am not right. And I have to use a scope for long distance. But has anyone ever heard of or use fair chase in hunting dear or other game? My dad always hunted that way and if the dear out smarted me, he won that day. We did a lot of still hunting and driving dear in Pa and always thank the animal for the food we were about to gobble up. Just my old dirty thirty and a handful of shells. Just asking.

Do you know how many hunters leise a farm dump 200# of corn put up a tree stand and sit? Nothing wrong with it but it is a different style of hunting.

I use to be involved in participating with scoring antlers with the Boone and Crockett. I have just noticed the definition has been revised since I read it years ago. It use to say hunting without electronic devices and other advantages. I also thought scopes where also unfair. Just sayin.

Junior Samples said:

Oh yea. And bow hunting would be as Fair Chase as it could be. No range finders and wind calibration and ect. My point is that have many hunters ever heard of Fair Chase? Just my thinkin.

Have hunted many different ways, most were to follow local traditions and go with what works for the area. Most of my fair chase hunting was done in the Western states and Alaska. Very little is done in Northern Wisconsin as the woods are so thick with underbrush and whatnot that it's not always a practical practice. Traditionally deer hunting was done either by standing and hoping a deer would come by or driving, pushing the deer out to an open area where folks would be waiting for them. So I am not particularly opposed or in favor of any such methods, when you get down to it, unless the game starts shooting back, there's nothing fair about it, no matter how you go about it. There's always been and always will be the moral divide that separates those who hunt. Hunting would have a much brighter future if folks found more things to come together about. As long as you are following the rules/law that's about as fair as it's going to get, everyone is free to make it either easier or harder on themselves as they see fit.
