Limiting technologies that eliminate the need for skill or competency Fair chase will limit technologies or practices that allow hunters, anglers, or trappers to locate or take wildlife without acquiring necessary skills or competency, including: Advanced sonar or fish-finding devices that identify location, size, or species in real-time. Artificial intelligence (AI) systems that predict wildlife or fish movements. Automated or precision-guided tools (APPS/Scopes/Long Range Hunting) that reduce the need for traditional hunting, fishing, or trapping skills.
Prohibiting Remote Pursuit or Harvesting Fair chase will prohibit technologies or practices that allow hunters, anglers, or trappers to pursue or take wildlife without being physically present and actively engaged in the field, such as: Remote-controlled drones, vehicles, or cameras used for scouting, pursuit, or harvesting. Automated or remotely triggered traps or weapon systems (Apps/Scopes). Night-vision or thermal imaging equipment that eliminates the need for field presence and situational awareness.
Restricting Online Hunter Education Online hunter education itself is not inherently "unfair chase" because it doesn't involve actual hunting, but it can be seen as problematic from the perspective of ensuring a full understanding of fair chase principles. The concept of "fair chase" is based on ethical hunting practices where the hunter and the animal are in a contest of skill and strategy, and the hunter uses the appropriate techniques and tools, with an emphasis on respect for wildlife. Some concerns regarding online hunter education programs include: Lack of hands-on experience: Fair chase hunting involves skills that go beyond theoretical knowledge. It requires practical experience in the field, such as learning to track animals, understanding animal behavior, and being able to ethically choose when to take a shot. Online education may teach the rules and ethics, but it can t replace real- world field experience. Limited enforcement of regulations: While online programs can provide great education on hunting laws and fair chase ethics, there might be a gap between education and actual enforcement in the field. Some hunters may pass the course without fully understanding the importance of fair chase or the complexities of applying it in the wild. Skill development: Fair chase hunting is about honing your skills and knowledge of the environment. It's not just about knowing what a legal shot is or how to respect wildlife laws. Online courses can't provide the hands-on, practical skills of stalking, tracking, and adapting to real-time conditions, which are key to ensuring a fair and respectful hunt.
Limiting New Transportation Methods that Compromise Fair Chase Fair chase will restrict the use of motorized or advanced transportation technologies, including drones, e-bikes, hovercraft, or unmanned vehicles, for scouting, pursuing, or retrieving wildlife, except as explicitly authorized for game retrieval in specific circumstances.
