Mike -

I like the definition, it is one of the best I have read/heard. Where did you find it?

I do note one line in particular that leaves room for a lot of argument: "...in a manner that does not give the hunter an improper advantage over such animals."

What some people might consider advantagous another might not. While I hate limiting phrases, I also understand that ambiguity can break what is otherwise a great idea. I've actually been told before that my rifle provides me with a unfair advantage over game. (Mind you, it was from a non-(but not anti-)hunter; but my point stands.)

Can anyone think of a way to phrase this line that might add clearity without overly restricting it's intent? Or should it just be excepted there will always be those who look at the extreme?
