Another can of worms. Is it "fair"? Questionable, to me. (A better question is, "Do you want to hunt and kill, or just kill?") Is it less "fair" than glassing and running in front w/ a different vehicle, be it wheeled or floating? Questionable. Is it "fair" to have a guide spot the herd the week(s) before, then drop hunters into the area and "fairly" walk into them? Questionable, but probably more "fair" than the others.... somehow. On that note, is it "fair" to use a rifle that can drop one at 400 yards? Lines like this are hard to draw, but I am certainly not inclined to favor same-day air borne "hunting". Would I do it? Hmmm. Maybe so; depends on my need for meat, but I'd refrain from calling it hunting.
