[QUOTE="killingtime 41, post: 5531695, member: 22774"] Just think not all that many years ago. You might be able to shoot 30 yards with a BOW. Then of course came the muzzleloader season 100 yards max with patch and ball or a buffalo bullet. Of course we’ve been able to shoot long distance with modern firearms for a long time. Fast forward pneumatic crossbow kills out to 100 yards. Muzzleloader good out to 200 plus yards. And modern rifle sky’s the limit. So the first 2 seasons use to be very primitive. Not so much anymore. Good points though old bows were very weak. Old muzzleloader a with percussion caps not always reliable. Big choice on modern gun ammo these days. I think fair chase means hunting free range deer. And beating they’re nose and eyes and ears. With whatever legal means. Did deer have a better chance of surviving with our not so long ago primitive weapons of course.because the nature of those weapons that I described. Was it more of a fair chase. Depends on your idea of a fair chase. Things have changed a bunch. Some good and some not so good. We’ll leave it at that for another discussion another time. [/QUOTE]
