Fair Chase at Carr's?
Posted by Ak Steve on Dec 26 2005
I often wonder about this myself. Why is same day airborne hunting any different than dipnetting on the Kenai? I dip net every year. It's fun, and I always get fish. I don't do it for the sport, just for the groceries.
What is the ethical dilema if it is a meat run? The caribou lived, was killed, and then eaten. Is that any less ethical that a cow living on a farm, being slaughtered, and then being eaten? For that matter, this entire discussion of "means" is interesting. Why should we not be able to use two way radios for hunting? How about snares? Night vision equipment? Helicopters? I think you will find, if you objectively examine these issues, is that it's really not about ethics but about game management. Less robust means of take means less take means harvest objectives are met.
I think so long as the animal does not suffer and is not harrassed there really are no ethical dilemas to confront.
Now, that being said, I enjoy hunting immensely, and I relish the sport of the hunt. The kill is an ancillary event.
