- Fair_chase abstract "Fair chase is a term used by hunters to describe an ethical hunt. North America's oldest wildlife conservation group, the Boone and Crockett Club, defines “fair chase” as requiring hunted big game animals to be “wild and free-ranging.” Wild refers to an animal that is naturally bred and lives in nature. Free-ranging, as defined by the Club, means an animal is “unrestricted within its biological home range, has adequate protective cover, and reasonable opportunity to elude the hunter.” A game animal’s biological home range is generally understood as the geographic area where an animal roams to find food, water, shelter, and to reproduce. Biological home range will vary from species to species and depend on available habitat. It is a concept of animal behavior and ecology that is very difficult to model or measure accurately.Fair chase has been the honor code of North American hunters for over a century and the principle underlying many of North American hunting laws, and is taught to new hunters in hunter certification courses.The literal meaning of fair chase is complicated by the fact that “fair” has many meanings and uses in the English language, e.g., fair ball, fair weather, fair skin, fair chance, fair play. When the word “fair” is paired with “chase,” it implies hunting is fair or equal. Hunting is not a field sport like baseball or football where the participants agree to the rules of engagement beforehand. In hunting, the hunted has not agreed to anything, nor does it have an equal chance in most cases to kill the human hunter. For most species, escape is the only option. Therefore, the meaning of fair chase is based on the definition of “fair” that relates to legitimate, honorable, genuine, or appropriate in the circumstances. To complicate matters further, fair chase is associated with the notion of sport hunting in the minds of many hunters, even though it does not resemble any sport played on a field or court. There is only one willing participant in hunting and the competition is not between groups of people. The term “sport,” in hunting, means only a sporting approach or a sporting chance, which are the principles behind fair chase. That approach recognizes the advantage of human capabilities, including technologies, and represents a desire to constrain ourselves so as to give the animals pursued a chance to escape.".
