Is every guide ever guilty of hunting without a license? By the definition provided above the argument could easily be made that all guides whether they have a client or not (scouting) is pursuing game for the purpose of hunting but have no license themselves. Do guides get an exception and can legally “hunt” without a license? How about a father who has already filled his tag taking children out teaching them to hunt? The child legally can’t hunt without the father there hunting with them.
If you define hunting as anything without including the intent to kill there are too many scenarios to list that would be illegal.
Lying and saying that you’re rattling deer for photography purposes in the same clearing that your friend is hunting, or you randomly decided to noisily hike through a patch of thick bush while waiting for your buddy who is hunting would not make me feel good about the experience. Helping a friend, family member, or client hunt should not be considered hunting.
