I agree and I would pass but not because of a book. I am just wondering if the buck wouldbe P & Y "legal"
The term "Fair Chase" shall not include the taking of animals under the following conditions:
[ol][*]Helpless in a trap, deep snow or water, or on ice.[*]From any power vehicle or power boat.[*]By "jacklighting" or shining at night.[*]By the use of any tranquilizers or poisons.[*]While inside escape-proof fenced enclosures.[*]By the use of any power vehicles or power boats for herding or driving animals, including use of aircraft to land alongside or to communicate with or direct a hunter on the ground.[*]By the use of electronic devices for attracting, locating, or pursuing game or guiding the hunter to such game, or by the use of a bow or arrow to which any electronic device is attached.[*]Any other condition considered by the Board of Directors as unacceptable. [/ol]
I suppose the rangefinder would be considered for pursuing game so I would say NO, it is a legal buck that would not be allowed in the P&Y record book.
