37. I suspect the prohibition of the use of vehicles . . .

. . . means that you can't chase game using vehicles, and that you can't shoot game from vehicles. But setting loose a dog with a GPS collar, and then jumping in your vehicle to catch up to the dog, wouldn't violate either of those. So the regulation seems to be more cosmetic than anything.

Why? Per Texas law, one cannot hunt endangered or even threatened species. Dial H For Hero Jun 2021 #8

Why? Kali Jun 2021 #11

It doesn't appear to me that the poster is opposed to boar hunting, but rather exotic animal hunting Ferrets are Cool Jun 2021 #21

you could be right Kali Jun 2021 #24

I think it's worth pointing out that none of these species are endangered or threatened. Dial H For Hero Jun 2021 #25

I can't fathom the mind of a person who would pay good money to go to a Texas petting zoo to kill Martin68 Jun 2021 #14

The hunts featured in this video seem to be free range and fair chase, Dial H For Hero Jun 2021 #16

"Fair chase." I don't know why the definition of that is, but I suspect there's very little about Martin68 Jun 2021 #19

Here's the definition, per Wikipedia: Dial H For Hero Jun 2021 #20

The definition is not grounded in either science or ethics. It is a self-serving excuse to Martin68 Jun 2021 #31

Actually, "fair chase" is a registered trademark of the Boone & Crockett Club. Be that as it may, Dial H For Hero Jun 2021 #35

You don't quite understand. Hunters don't jump into their vehicles to catch up with their dogs. They Martin68 Jun 2021 #39

I understand this perfectly well . . . markpkessinger Jul 2021 #46

mark, you seem to have very legalistic point of view. Some of us are more interested in ethics and Martin68 Jul 2021 #47

You take the word for these places as "fair chase", fair chase is still enclosed and MerryBlooms Jun 2021 #40

There is, from what I've read, a real difference between the sorts of hunts described in the video Dial H For Hero Jul 2021 #43

Fair chase in my mind would be to take them on in hand to hoof/claw combat. Ferrets are Cool Jun 2021 #22

We've been using ranged projectiles to hunt animals for at least 30,000 years. Dial H For Hero Jun 2021 #23

Of course we are not. I'm just saying what would be "FAIR" to both parties. Ferrets are Cool Jun 2021 #33

Fair chase rules are designed to make it more challenging as is appropriate for a sporting activity. Dial H For Hero Jun 2021 #36

Killing animals for sport and ego is not appropriate. MerryBlooms Jun 2021 #41
