Doc Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Ok, I'm willing to hunt by the rules of fair chase, but I think it is only fair if both teams abide by the rules. We all know that deer trails are for deer to walk on. The object is for them is to either use another trail, or for them to get by the trail that I am watching without me being able to get them. I wish to register a protest. Yesterday, one of the deer violated the rules by walking parallel to the trail but 10 yards on the other side which put her outside my effective shooting distance of 25 yards. She knew she was violating the rules but chose to disregard the rules of fair chase anyway. Now, if these deer are going to cheat, we need some kind of referees out there to control the game! I mean some kind of guys with striped shirts that are there to throw down a yellow flag when an infraction occurs. Some kind of penalty has to be assessed when one team or the other decides to blatantly disregard the rules. I hope we can get this thing straightened out without having to resort to such measures, but this kind of illegal procedure has been happening all too frequently lately and I , for one, would like to see a stop put to it!

buckee Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Re: Fair Chase? If this continues to be a practice of the opposing team, I think it would be only fair to leave your opposing position and take up a defensive position somewhere where you might cut off the offender. It seems to me, that you may have under-estimated the strategies of the opposition. It may be time to rewrite your own rule book, (while still abiding with your state rules), put on your own referee garb, and referee your own game ...LOL The opposing team is not aware of the state rules book, so maybe you could post a copy on a tree somewhere for them to read. After reading the state rules, you may find they will comply, after the guilt of their infractions sets in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted October 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Re: Fair Chase? And how about those "parachute" deer. You know the one's that just appear out of nowhere and stand there staring at you so you can't even get your bow up. Now they have to be using some kind of illegal tactics. And then there is the one where there are too many players on the field. This is the one that gets the ground-standers the worse. A whole bunch of does and fawns come in and spread all around your stand so that you can't make a move without getting caught. Now, that don't seem right!

Sam16 Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Re: Fair Chase? What about when the deer are guilty of of a False Start... You know, you climb up in ur tree at 4 am waiting for daylight. You say to yourself "ok 15 more minutes and it'll be light enough to shoot." on cue here come the deer wandering right under you at 10-15 yards. Man we can go all ady with this one.

GWSmith Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Re: Fair Chase? I believe the judges have reached a split decision.... I see the deer and they SPLIT. "She knew she was violating the rules but chose to disregard the rules of fair chase anyway". I'm confused....Dont they make the rules up as they go along.......along way off from me that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
