[QUOTE="rifle02, post: 5531994, member: 20050"] We all as Hunters are generally bombarded with advertising hype. All sorts of products purported to give us an edge or Advantage somehow over our quarry. The Temptation is always there to try and do something that will improve our odds without putting in more effort. I never thought of climbing tree stands as being unfair. But the first time I used one I was hooked, I saw the advantage. In fact when I went from sitting my butt on the ground to climbing up in a tree my actual success rate skyrocketed. Somehow I never thought of that as being unfair. I see where some people might have thought that. When I think of something not being fair Chase it's something pretty obvious like shooting a penned up deer. That has been done I know. Deer inside a high fence maybe not considered penned if the fence surrounds 4000 Acres for example. I also think watching your phone for a cell camera image to tell you exactly when that buck comes out into the field and then you leave your couch with your rifle somehow that seems unfair. If it's illegal then you shouldn't do it. If it is legal but bothers your conscience you shouldn't do it. Often we have different reasons for deer hunting. Mostly nowadays it's recreation. There have been times I understand personally when meat to feed the family was very important. Your motive for killing a deer probably influences your methods. [/QUOTE]
