"FAIR CHASE, as defined by the Boone and Crockett Club, is the ethical, sportsmanlike, and lawful pursuit and taking of any free-ranging wild game animal in a manner that does not give the hunter an improper or unfair advantage over the game animals."
So, if hunting with drones is legal, that's cool too? Thermal optics? Night Vision? Certainly not legal, but if they were legal, you're just going to tell me "You, do you?
Actually this is the REQUIREMENT of Fair Chase when entering an animal into the records program. As a B&C records committee member and measurer, I’m well aware of what’s needed.
