Which of the following best describes 'fair chase' in hunting?

Using vehicles to chase down game
Hunting only during the legal season and observing wildlife laws
Taking shots at game outside of effective range
Hunting at night with the aid of artificial lights

The correct answer is: Hunting only during the legal season and observing wildlife laws

Fair chase in hunting means following ethical and legal codes of conduct while pursuing game. Option A is incorrect because using vehicles to chase down game gives an unfair advantage to the hunter and goes against the principle of fair chase. Option C is incorrect because taking shots at game outside of effective range can result in wounding and injuring animals, and goes against the ethical practice of making quick and clean kills in hunting. Option D is incorrect because hunting at night with artificial lights can disrupt wildlife behavior and also increase the risk of misidentification and accidental shooting. Thus, option B is the best choice as it aligns with the concept of fair chase and responsible hunting practices.
