Ridge, I'm attempting to be friendly to you...Please keep that in mind.

What I'm drawing attention to is the notion of fairness. As I say, there is a gray area.

My thoughts on camo, scents, and tree stands: I think one can cross a line with those. I say it's best to evaluate it case by case.

My biggest issue would be with scents. I'm not sure how they represent skill or hunter effort. Scent control products start getting problematic, too.

With camo, you still have to use a little brain power to get a match and you still have to be stealthy. Tree stands do require the hunter to put it up, place it in a good location, etc. There's still a skill element involved.

Again, the exact boundaries are not clear. I do think they are worth thinking about as we consider our hunting methods. Fair chase is a key part of all of this.
