So lets go over this a little bit. 1200 acres with a bow spot and stalk isn't fair chase? right?

But paying an outfitter/guide 1000's to have him hold your hand to a trophy is ok. Deer drives are ok. hunting over bait is ok. hunting with dogs are ok. hunting in a heated shooting house is ok. hunting late season elk is ok.

To me, those are the easy hunts that dont require any fair chase on the hunters part. Other than shooting your gun there isnt any skill you need to kill a record book animal in those cases.

Should an animal that has been born and raised inside a fence go into the the bc book, nope.

Mabey the title thread should have been "free range vs high fence" cause fair chase works both ways here.
