If the deer is running, than its no different than if I'm in a stand and the deer comes running by... I have no shot, unless it stops where I have a good shot.

Hunters are funny... some are so very judgemental about others ways, weapons, etc. We're all on the same team regardless of how we choose to hunt. Whether someone prefers to still hunt, stand hunt, dog hunt, drive hunt... or use a compound, recurve, or crossbow... or Rifle, shotgun, handgun, muzzleloader... etc
I'm fine with it as long as its fair chase and they act responsibly.

Now high fence hunts, to me...that is a different story.
Well thats the thing......we all think we should be less judgemental.....unless we think "that is a different story"
