Thanks, guys. You have given me some good food for thought. I especially like the notion of respecting the animal being hunted and the environment in which we (prey animals and hunters alike) live.

And, speaking of respecting our prey. . . Muleshoe, I'm not sure that my getting "buck naked" would qualify as fair chase. I don't think I've ever seen a game animal laugh, but I am fairly certain that the sight of me running through the woods naked would make any critter darned near hysterical. Being weak from laughter would surely render then easy pickin's for any unscrupulous hunters who might be around!
