I'm used to 'legal' being applied, in the 4 States I've hunted, to FAIR CHASE. No I didn't "back off', just trying to be more specific (semantics).

Let me re state that: I'm used to legal = fair chase.



OK then, what about the OP should be made illegal, and why?

That was and is my only question for you.

If you want to say it has to be "fair chase" to be legal, there are all kinds of problems with that.

Like outlawing all of the high fence operations in Texas. B&C and P&Y don't consider hunting behind a high fence "fair chase." So all of that has to go.

Or baiting bears. Or chasing deer with hounds. Or planting farm-raised pheasants in a field for a couple of guys to shoot on a Sunday afternoon.

All of it has to be outlawed, right?


Not to mention as Rockchuck pointed out, it's agriculture and animal husbandry, not hunting.
