You also didn’t have the wolves or the predators, and could run hounds. So let not act like you it’s easier now then it used to be.

Technology has been advancing hunting since the very beginning.  So....if we really want to keep it fair chase, we should wear loin cloth and throw spears??  Or maybe saddle up on some horses and drive herds of elk or buffalo off a cliff??  Point being, advancements in gear and technology have been happening for as long as hunting has been a thing.  Do we stop advancements in an effort to make it "fair chase", more "ethical", etc....??  I'm not sure we do.  I can make an argument that trail cameras have made hunting more ethical in many ways......like not shooting a sow bear because you know the big brown sow has two cubs with her.  Now when you jump her in the brush without seeing her cubs....you don't shoot her, essentially killing 3 bears.  Range finders.....another one that has likely led to less wounded animals.  Year, does it allow a guy to shoot a little further, probably.  Would that same guy shoot further without it....probably!!  At least now the hunter KNOWS the range and can make a decision to get closer or take the shot if it is within their ethical shooting distance. 

Point being.....advancements in technology can and are used for good.  Not sure so many folks want to just poo poo on any advancements in our sport.  I love trail cams....and have passed on many a smaller buck, that in my earlier years would have been killed without a second thought, because I knew there was a bigger buck in the area.

It’s special alright…

Although I feel like this should be a tag somewhere.
