fair chase
Honorable pursuit method
Fair chase is an ethical principle in hunting that requires giving quarry a reasonable chance to escape.
The hunter pursues wild, free-ranging animals in their natural habitat without artificial advantages like baiting, spotlighting, or cornering animals in enclosures.
Trophy hunting organizations require fair chase for record eligibility.
The concept distinguishes sport hunting from mere killing.
