[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 5532568, member: 10373"] Good insights here. I’ve read them all. I don’t possess any special knowledge or rules about fair chase in spite of my handle. Aldo Leupold said a man’s ethics are no more challenged than hunting alone and seeing a covey of quail walking single file down a corn row. As many have noted we start with what’s legal and then go further until our conscious is no longer bothered. That too can change over time as we age. I remember an elk hunt in Idaho where we walked in a couple miles and came into a meadow to look for a suitable place to set up camp. I looked up and alerted my buddy that a 6 point bull was standing looking at us less than 100 yards away. We must have bumped him out of the meadow. It would have been so easy but the season didn’t open until the next day. We never even saw another elk! No regrets. It was illegal and certainly unethical. I don’t judge others sense of fair chase as long as it’s legal. Everyone is at a different place in their hunting life. Live and let live. Fair chase is still the best way to hunt and take wild game. That’s the by line for one of the western hunting shows. I like it. [/QUOTE]
