Ralph Loos: AI is going to raise important questions for hunters regarding fair chase

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, Michigan, National Hunting, Opinion /

Columnist Jack Ammerman takes a stab at something each of us who hunt and fish should do at least once each year – he comes clean with a long list of things he “can’t figure out” or “doesn’t understand” or simply “does not know.”

He wanted to start fishing in a minimalist way, and to scratch that itch, he developed a keen interest in handline fishing.
