243's to big, I use a .22 Hornet for populated areas, I hit them in the neck and they drop instantly. But here in Texas the law says 10 acres minimum for hunting, and not in the city limits.

RE: HELP WITH ETHICS

If it's legal in your state, do it.

Nothing to figure out here, hunting over bait is not fair chase, even where it's legal. Your neighbors who are setting out this bounty may even be breaking the law, some areas prohibit feeding wildlife out of concern for disease transmission, so you'd be best served not hunting there at all. If it is, in fact, illegal to feed game where you live then you're duty and honor bound to report them. Ethics can be a hard act to follow, but they're usually right.

Since when is hunting with an expensive gun or bow and fancy clothing and boots and tree stands fair chase?

I hunt naked wearing only a hunter orange cap with my permit under it. (The law says you have to wear at least a hunter orange cap)

When I catch my prey I kill it using only my hands and teeth. That, my friend, is fair chase.

By the way, in order to be completely fair, I only shower once a year, after hunting season is over. However, if I get caught in the rain, I figure that's natural.

RE: HELP WITH ETHICS

exactly ! fair chase would be giving the deer a gun and letting them shoot back.
