  1. The hunter's skill and gear versus the animal's chance to escape ✔
  2. The number of hunters versus the number of animals
  3. The price of a license versus the value of the meat

Why: Fair chase means not taking unfair advantage of game. The animal should have a real chance to get away. People who approve of hunting expect hunters to practice it.

Huh, didn't know that: A practice can be legal and still unethical, like shooting ducks on a lake with no boat or dog to retrieve them.
