Anyone else see this?

Do you consider baiting wintering animals habituated to humans to be “fair chase”?
What if was a standing grain field or a cut corn field? I just don’t get the obvious hate for this guy or the jealousy. Seems lots of dudes are jealous that this guy has money and the opportunity that it brings. Reminds me of the “pay their fair share” crowd.

Sorry but there is a big difference between hunting Midwest white tails and claiming a WR Rocky Mountain elk.

Going to answer my question, or is it too difficult?
 
If it follows the rules of Fair Chase established by B&C and/or P&Y and is legal, then yes. You do you.
"FAIR CHASE, as defined by the Boone and Crockett Club, is the ethical, sportsmanlike, and lawful pursuit and taking of any free-ranging wild game animal in a manner that does not give the hunter an improper or unfair advantage over the game animals."

So, if hunting with drones is legal, that's cool too? Thermal optics? Night Vision? Certainly not legal, but if they were legal, you're just going to tell me "You, do you?

Actually this is the REQUIREMENT of Fair Chase when entering an animal into the records program. As a B&C records committee member and measurer, I’m well aware of what’s needed. :)
