The words "ethical" and "fair chase" on hunting shows. The pope and young commercial was sickening in how blatantly elitist it was portrayed. "We only promote ethical, fair chase hunting" (exactly how do you define the word fair??) Don't get me wrong, there are people like Ted Nugent and Keith Warren who actually promote all types of hunting. But, it seems to me like all these clubs that promote "fair chase" hunting serve no purpose other than to give the anti hunters more fuel for the fire.

Im sick and tired of hearing the word "hater" from grown men........aint nothing fair about hunting it all comes down to how much of a challenge you want it to be for you.Comment

Personally I think carnivores spend way too much time worrying about what an "anti" might use for fuel. Who even cares.
And for that matter who even cares what some club defines as fair?
Life is too short to worry about these irrelevant things.Comment

I get ya. By no means do they steal my joy. If I ever get the chance to high fence 200 acres and have my own whitetail/exotic herd, you'd better believe I'll do it in a heartbeat!Originally posted by elkbowhunter View PostI wouldn't let it bother ya.

that sounds fun!!Originally posted by popup_menace View Post
its interesting how we each have our own definition of what is fair. I think we have to just do what each person thinks is fair. For me to tell you whats not fair is kinda lame. To each his own. Ive been on a lot of backcountry wilderness type hunts and know in my mind what drives me as a hunter. For some its sitting in a stand with 20 acres high fence. Its all good just depends on what drives ya.Comment

Is hunting over a feeder "fair chase"?

I don't understand why people get upset so easily these days. Don't like it? Change the channel. Pope & Young has always had the same standards- it's no different now than it was way back when...Comment

I don't care what anyone else does as long as it's legal and they aren't interfering with me...Comment

The way I look at P&Y or B&C is kinda like Christian religions. Not don't get me wrong before you hear me out. There are many different Christian religions and they are all based on the same idealogy. God and Jesus (hunting). But after that they differ on many beliefs. Baptist don't drink or dance and Catholics drink. P&Y club doesn't believe in high fences but SCI does. But they are both hunting orgs.
Understand what I'm saying? Not comparing God and hunting at all. Although I think God every time I set foot in them woods.
With that, let's hunt!!Comment
