Good gawd another perfectly good thread shot to chit. LOL
Relatively par for the course on this optics forum... I mean Leupold tactical in the military has a pile to do with hunting in the Adirondacks and how boring it is to hunt animals
Right????
It's about what constitutes sporting, ethical and fair chase, what if anything doesn't and where you draw the line dummy.
You don't get to draw another persons line. Draw your own.
Funny, hunters draw the line for other hunters all the time, hence the reason things like spot lights, baiting and aircraft are illegal in many if not most areas. When you can sit there having a conversation with your buddies in a normal voice, have to yell for the deer to even hear you and even then it isn't sure what it heard or where it came from and doesn't spook, you are too far away for that animal to have a sporting chance of identifying danger and making an escape for it to constitute sporting and fair chase. Just watch Burns video. It's all there.
Just for grins, what is the distance it becomes sporting?
Doing away with rangefinders would go a long way toward giving game a sporting chance. Folks filled tags without them for a long time but probably not many at distances where the animal had little to no chance of detecting danger and making an escape.
