Having reviewed the B&C rules and visited with several other hunters, I'm still confused as to what constitutes "fair chase". Most of my hunting experience has been in Texas, where hunting styles are often controversial -- huge ranches are high-fenced to control deer herds, feeders are used to lure deer out of the brush, hunters are driven around in specially designed, high-seat vehicles to spot game, etc. Not that everyone uses these techniques, but they are used and they are used by some people that I know and respect.
So, -- without getting into all of the controversy over the ethics of one style or another, and who's right and who's wrong -- can anyone out there give me a simple and straightforward description of "fair chase"?
