I like spotting an elk at some distance because then if I can approach to within range then that is a real rewarding kill. I feel like I've earned those. For me the essence of the hunt is to try to use some skills to navigate the terrain and wind to move into range. If they bust me that is perfectly OK. I'm successful often enough. My own idea of fair chase is that some amount of stealth or skill ought to be involved so that it is not just a harvest.
