I still have to be still, lob the arrow etc. [/blockquote]
Same here..............like I said, I don't have any problem with any of that.........but calling it "fair chase"??? Just sounds stupid and if I think it sounds stupid I can only imagine what an outsider who sees 30 guys in orange putting on non stop drives every fall must think. I just see it as a stupid label that people use for what reason I don't know.
Why can't we just call it hunting?
WEll He!! boy, you mean we've gone through 7 or 8 pages of replies over symmantics. You don't like it, don't use it. I detest the use of the word Harvest. It's killing, not harvesting. I won't use it. If someone does I tell them it's killing. So that brings us back to Fair Chase. OK, let's just calltag or something. I'll send you a dictionary and you can pick one of your own chosing.
The word harvest is used soften a meaning...........not change it..........and the way some deer are grown and killed today harvest actually fits better..........because if it resembles farming more then hunting then harvest is a better fit.
I still don't see where "fair chase" fits..............anywhere.
