All:

He is right - there is no fair chase.

We are humans with a higher intelligence and they are "dumb" animals (in comparison to us). This is not fair.

If youuse a weapon and the deer does not - this is not fair.

If you drive to get to the area where you hunt, it is not fair.

If you use your knowledge of the rut to see more deer, it is not fair.

If you use your knowledge regarding where and when deer are more prone to be on the move, it is not fair.

Every new item we buy to improve our chances makes it a little more unfair.


Man against man and deer against deer is the only fair chase (each having the same access to their own God-granted capability set).


He is in the same boat that we are in, although I believe he feels the degree to whichis different.

Joking aside from above, I do believe I understand his point.
It does appear that with advanced technology, things may get out of control - very quickly.


Let all agree not to mention "fair chase" - it is a stupid term (see above)and get back to calling it hunting.
