Thanks for the comments, Art. I have hunted in the Texas hill country for a lot of years, and have been fortunate to spend some time in the South Texas brush, as well. I understand the issues of high fences, tower stands, and so forth -- although I am not sure that many people from other parts of the world do. I'm not really into judging others on how they legally take game, but I am interested in hearing what others consider fair chase.

It seems to me that "fair chase" varies according to conditions, surroundings, and heritage. So, I get a little confused when people start complaining about the techniques used by hunters hundreds of miles away. I'm just interested in hearing what others consider the "high road" of hunter ethics.

Thanks, again, for the posting.
