I think you have it right.
Anybody who would display or even suggest that an animal killed by aerial means is a trophy, is not a hunter by my definition.
Once again the powers-that-be have it wrong, and normally you can trace their thought process back to $$$$.
Personally I feel very strongly against using helicopters for even accessing an area, wait times are often meaningless. All that said an animal would still have some chance of escape even if pursued by a helicopter. A fenced animal has none yet SCI will gladly take your money and list your ranch killed game.As in most cases I suspect it is commercial hunting interests that are pushing for this lowering of the bar.
Just follow the money.
