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

Using technology to guarantee a kill
Giving the game a reasonable chance to escape
Hunting only non-native species
Hunting within enclosed areas

The correct answer is: Giving the game a reasonable chance to escape

Fair chase in hunting refers to the ethical and sportsmanlike pursuit of game animals. This means giving the animal a reasonable chance to escape and using fair and legal methods to capture or kill the animal. Option A is incorrect because it goes against the principles of fair chase by using technology to guarantee a kill. Option C is incorrect because it only applies to hunting non-native species, while fair chase applies to all hunting. Option D is incorrect because hunting within enclosed areas does not provide the animal with a fair chance to escape. The most accurate choice is B because it encompasses the core principles of fair chase by allowing the animal a sporting chance.
