[QUOTE="peytoncreekhunter, post: 5531628, member: 2265"] With the other threads about corn (baiting) and trail cameras (patterning deer) I got to wondering just exactly what is "fair chase" to the deer. Of course fair chase would be defined as being a legal method wherever your hunting by state laws but maybe some legal methods aren't really fair chase. What I mean by that is, is a rifle that can shoot a deer at 100, 200, 300 yards really fair to the deer or compound bows and crossbows that shoot like a rifle out to 40-50 yards? How close should you have to get to the deer for it to be fair? Is a nice comfortable shooting house with closing windows and heaters where the weather probably won't hamper your shooting skills fair? Or even comfortable ladder and climbing stands? How uncomfortable does it have to be for it to be fair? To be clear I think all the above is fair chase, as long as it's legal by the state laws. So, what do you think fair chase means? [/QUOTE]
