Re: fair chase CHARTER

JB

Some ideas for a "fair chase" charter. Not meaning that being outside this is illegal or can not be done, as fair chase is a rather more ideal or restricted attitude to a hunt. Also just ideas ...

  • Not use of artificial lighting or spotlights, or night vision devices.
  • No artificial or mechanical, recorded etc calls (eg use a manual call to call in a deer or lion or whatever - but no recorded sounds or sounds created by artificial means not requiring skill)
  • No shooting from a vehicle or near a vehicle, say 200 plus metres, or from a motor powered boat.
  • No aerial spotting of fame
  • No high fences. Fencing should permit the free movement of game
  • No shooting over waterholes
  • No use of traps
  • All animals should be born and bred in free chase conditions.
  • Shoot your own animal (of course!)
  • While not strictly on topic, shoot only mature specimens
  • Baiting - baiting only for certain animals and personal checking of baits ie not have an army checking baits for you
  • Shooting only at a range where the animal has a chance to detect the hunter ie no 400 - 1,000 metre "sniping"


Just some ideas for a "true" fair chase hunt.
