    'Free-Range' means the animal is born and raised in the wild from a wild population and is hunted in a wild area of public or private land with no barriers to roam, natural or man-made, to prevent evasion of a potential hunter. Liberated or selectively-bred animals do not qualify as free-range game.

    New Zealand Professional Hunting Guides Association. - Home

    FAIR CHASE, as defined by the Boone and Crockett Club, is the ethical, sportsmanlike, and lawful pursuit and taking of any free-ranging wild, native North American big game animal in a manner that does not give the hunter an improper advantage over such animals.

    www.boone-crockett.org/huntingEthics

    Personally I believe it all comes down to circumstances - free range on private will likely mean restricted entry and bigger animals maybe, but still free range by def, simply lucky buggers

    +1 rogers.270, that is my interpretation as well, not one of those stags that is left alone and not shot for a few years to 'mature' and then some rich overseas 'hunter' comes over and shoots it for $1,000 per point and claims a 'world record free range' record......

    yeah remember going to a certain CHCH taxidermist years ago .nice big wapiti full body mount being readied for shipping sans rack.i asked the bloke what size rack it had .reply was it belonged to singapore billionares son ,whom daddy sent on safari in nz cause he was a little shit.
    As $20,000 plus was the cost they awaited a rack of 24 farmed points to dowel into the head for pride of place in its singapore home. my memory is vivid and i still reel in fuckin disgust when i think of it. that video of the yank chick would be disgusting if all involved werent so fucking pathetic.and to proudly have it do the rounds in NZ FFS who advises these clowns!

    Money Kotuku, money, if you got enough you can win what you want. I often think about Ellison, Couttts and Spittle in that Americas Cup. That's gotta be a hollow victory, but they don't give a rats arse they have the cup, but I can't see the point. If I was Dean Barker and Grant Dalton I would have said fuck it and taken up knitting after that, these wankers don't deserve good competition. Oh hold on its about the money, show me the enough and I'd bend over for you!
    I'd be really pissed to be beaten by a farmed animal, but that's the way of the world. 3 D printers will be making Sika heads in the future!

    If anyone really wants to get in the business of making hunting a competition, or comparing yourself to others in some way or another, public land hunting seems the best way to do it.

    But it only matters to you if it matters to you. Hunting is however competitive or not competitive you make it. Personally I'm about setting goals for yourself as a hunter and setting out to achieve them. I really want to shoot an 8 point sika because it's a challenge and the challenge motivates me to get out there. And if it motivates me to spend more time in the hills, then I'm glad.

    I hunt both private and public land.....in both cases I consider my hunting free range as the animals were born wild lived in a wild state and knew no boundaries bar a 7 wire fence, which we all know wont hold deer. As a meat hunter myself im not out there to win prizes, but if I found a nice trophy animal I certainly wouldn't leave him out there either. I think that if you have to cheat to win a prize, that it says a lot about you as a person. In this case of an animal being brought and shot I don't feel it's free range. If that's what you have to do to win a comp then shame on you, cause that ain't hunting it's simply shooting.

    Remind me of an American video, sponsored by bow tech. That american dude get flown over the southern alps in a chopper, they spot a good thar, scared him and make sure he stays in gully where the only way is down.
    The chopper pilot drop the bow hunter and camera crew at bottom of gully, then fly back up and push that poor thar down to
    The guy with the bow ,he shot it, in the head and kills it. And he claims the animal being truly free range.
    I ll let you guys be the judges of that as well!
