I'm glad you brought this up Mike, I was thinking of starting a post a few weeks back on fair chase but decided against it. People talking about what is and isn't fair chase, such as canned hunts. Well like you pointed out, wearing camo while elevated 30 ft in a tree with a high powered rifle by todays standards in considered fair chase. I fail to see whats fair about that. Using dogs to point and flush pheasants is considered fair chase, but using them for deer is not. Personally I never use dogs for deer nor have the desire to do so, but as long as it is legal in your area, it should be your own choice and anyone who screams that it is not fair chase has no right to do so. In my opinion, fair chase for deer went out the window a long time ago and I don't think anyone has the right to put anyone else down for their opinion of what fair chase is. Bottom line is, use your dogs, stay safeand have a great time hunting.
