“To me, it’s all about the pursuit.” Taylor Freese shares with us what #IAmFairChase means to him.
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.
Fundamental to all hunting is the concept of supporting the conservation of natural resources. Modern hunting involves the regulated harvest of individual animals in a manner that conserves, protects, and perpetuates the hunted population, known as sustainable use. The hunter engages in a one-to-one relationship with the quarry and his or her hunting should be guided by a hierarchy of ethics related to hunting, which includes the following tenets:
Obey all applicable laws and regulations.
Respect the customs of the locale where the hunting occurs.
Exercise a personal code of behavior that reflects favorably on your abilities and sensibilities as a hunter.
Attain and maintain the skills necessary to make the kill as certain and quick as possible.
Behave in a way that will bring no dishonor to either the hunter, the hunted, or the environment.
Recognize that these tenets are intended to enhance the hunter's experience of the relationship between predator and prey, which is one of the most fundamental relationships of humans and their environment.

Für mich ist Jagd immer noch etwas Besonderes.
Nicht, weil ich schieße.
Sondern weil ich gehe.
Zu Fuß jagen.
Lesen, was der Wind erzählt.
Spuren deuten.
Fehler machen.
Und irgendwann vielleicht ein altes Stück überlisten, das schon hundertmal entkommen ist.
Genau das hält die Jagd lebendig.
Und mich auch.
Wir jagen keine leichten Ziele.
Wir jagen Erfahrung.
Alte, kluge Tiere, die gelernt haben zu überleben.
Und genau deshalb ist jeder Erfolg mehr als ein Schuss –
er ist ein echtes Erlebnis.
Keine Autofenster.
Keine Abkürzungen.
Nur Natur, Instinkt und Respekt.
So bleibt Jagd das, was sie sein soll.
