RE: I think it's time to stop the "fair chase" charade
ATLASquote..... I'm not accusing anyone of anything............I have no problem with the way anyone hunts.......you know that. I hunt the same way.......I just don't think I would go around advertising it as "fair chase" just because there is no chain link fence in view.
Atlas, for what it is worth, you make sense to me in some of the points you make. I just wish you would have begun with the above quote from yourself... to maybe ease into this subject without making some other hunters feel under attack. I have respect forall ethical hunters who share this sport I love. For example, did you ever try to explain a hunting scenario to a non hunter and feel like that person just could not understand your own thrill, or excitement.... just because they have never experienced it? We all have a common trhead running through us that makes us hunters. Although I agree with some of what you originally wrote, I just wish it would not have felt like such an attack to some of the others who partake in the more advanced technology items.
Myself, I hunt public land, no rangefinder, no food plot or corn on the ground, and no trail cam. Just my bow & climber.
To each their own. Good luck to you all.
