At the end of the day, the goal is to kill the animal as quickly as possible and that generally requires that the element of surprise exists. So whether you shoot an elephant in the face from 10 yards while he is feeding unaware of your presence, or a deer at 700 as he stands in a field, the actual distance doesn't matter. The distance has no influence on whether a scenario is ethical and fair chase. It's whether you have the skill to place a lethal shot when the chips are down.
