 KILLING TRIP VS. FAIR CHASE HUNT 1- Pope & Young Club To be entered into Pope & Young Club Records, the animal must meet minimum scoring requirements and must be taken in complete compliance with the controlling game laws and the Rules of Fair Chase. The term "Fair Chase" shall not include the taking of animals under the following conditions: 1- Helpless in a trap, deep snow or water, or on ice. 2- From any power vehicle or power boat. 3- While confined behind fences as on game farms, etc. 4- By "Jacklighting" or shining at night. 5- By the use of tranquilizers or poisons. 6- By the use of any power vehicles or power boat for herding or driving animals, including the use of aircraft to land alongside or to communicate with or direct a hunter on the ground. 7- By the use of electronic devices for attracting, locating or pursuing game, or guiding the hunter to such game, or by use of a bow or arrow to which any electronic device is attached. 8- Any other condition considered by the Board of Directors as unsportsmanlike. ------------------------------------- 2- Boone and Crockett Club FAIR CHASE , as defined by Boone and Crockett Club, is the ethical, sportsmanlike, and lawful pursuit and taking of any free-ranging wild native North American big game animal in a manner that does not give the hunter an improper advantage over such animals. HUNTER ETHICS Fundamental to all hunting is the concept of conservation of natural resources. Hunting in today's world involves the regulated harvest of individual animals in a manner that conserves, protects and perpetuates the hunted population. The hunter engages in a one-to-one relationship with the quarry and his or her hunting should be guided by a hierarchy of ethics related to hunting which includes the following tenets: 1- Obey all applicable laws and regulations. 2- Respect the customs of the locale where the hunting occurs. 3- Exercise a personal code of behaviour that reflects favorably on your abilities and sensibilities as a hunter. 4- Attain and maintain the skills necessary to make the kill as certain and quick as possible. 5- Behave in a way that will bring no dishonor to either the hunter, the hunted, or the environment. 6- Recognize that these tenets are intended to enhance the hunter's experience of the relationship between predator and prey, which is one of the most fundamental relationships of humans and their environment. ------------------------------------- 3- JIM POSEWITZ WHAT IS FAIR IN FAIR CHASE ? Jim Posewitz, a leading authority on hunting ethics and author of the book Beyond Fair Chase, describes fair chase as "a balance that allows hunters to occasionally succeed while animals generally avoid being taken." In this view, the kill is the exception and escape is the rule. Simply put, a chase is fair if the animal has a reasonable chance of escaping the pursuit unharmed. If the animal has little or no chance, the chase is not fair. Fair chase demands a balance of power between hunter and hunted: the hunter's ability to track, pursue, and acquire an animal must not be greater than the animal's abilities to elude capture or death. Fair chase is, ultimately, an expression of the desire to limit the discretionary power of the hunter so that sport hunting will remain enjoyable, challenging, and true to its original character. For the modern sport hunter with all the advantages of modern technology at his or her disposal, a fair chase ethic imposes a voluntary limitation on the means the hunter may employ to achieve an end. Fair chase is not about the fairness of the kill (the end) but about the fairness of the chase (the means). In fair chase hunting, not only do the means justify the end, by the means are the end: the chase is the hunt. And a fair chase hunter earns the privilege to take an animal's life by mastering the skills of the hunt.
