Great questions. And yes you should do it!
We arrived Friday afternoon and hunted antelope till Tuesday. My wife shot a 13” buck on Saturday. I shot a 14” buck on Sunday. My two buddies shot 14.5” bucks on Monday.
The cow hunt started on Tuesday. So we scouted for elk as we hunted antelope, it gave us a good head start on what the elk were doing before we started hunting. A great plan since we only had 4 days to hunt elk. But it worked out and we got it done!
Awesome, already thinking about next year. Congrats and thanks for the info!

WOW.
This thread really blew up.
Idaho will do what Idaho will do, I have no dog in the fight. (Yes, I have used trail cameras in Idaho, but nowhere near a cell phone tower, so there.)
Let me say that I am happy to see so many new faces (handles). This is a great result.
And I am happy to hear the passionate responses from a lot of old salts! Hi F4F!

Heck we’re 8 pages in so far and the only legitimate reason that has been provided as to why they should be allowed is for watching traps. No one else has even provided a reason for the group to consider…
I would love for the pro cell camera side to provide a reason why I should change my stance. I’m listening.
Really? Come on dude what data have you KARENs provided to show all your hypotheticals are actually factual. Nothing other than guys flapping their gums. Where’s the studies?
If you don’t like the technology don’t use it. Not hard to do. Don’t try to fix a problem that isn’t a problem.
So basically you have no reasons beyond you “want to and don’t tell us what we can do” so now you will just result to name calling?
I’m not trying to get these cell cameras banned but if Idaho wants to ban them I have no problem with them doing that and I do not see how it could possibly harm the sport of hunting. And for those of you who feel so strongly different from my point of view… please provide a reason why I should feel differently. So far the only legitimate reason I have seen is for trapping.
You don’t have a valid reason or evidence to support not using them. Why would anyone voluntarily give up anything when there is nothing to back the reason for it? Let people have the FREEDOM OF CHOICE! Nobody needs to justify their use. Why are so many people trying to be the ethics police on how some one hunts or scouts? I’d be willing to bet the majority that are opposed to cell cams and commented on this thread don’t own any and are basing their opinion off something they read.

2 words.
Fair chase.
One of the basic foundations of hunting.

Congrats to everyone, especially those who are getting the kids out!
A little late posting, 1st legal buck I came across that would hold still early in the archery season. I love the late season but am not sure I was going to be able to pull the time off, so just happy to fill the tag.
First year using Grim Reapers and was super impressed!

Got it done this evening! It’s been a lengthy drought, but that just makes this all the sweeter!

How about mounted turrets next to your cell cam that are linked to a joystick next to your lounge chair? That way, you can kill game without even leaving your couch. Then we can debate how regular hunters shouldn't denigrate joystick hunters because it's "hunter against hunter"? This the bull feces is getting old. Let's just ban this crap and get back to hunting like we used to do. Spending time in the woods after reading signs on the ground and putting meat on the table when we are lucky or put in the effort.
That said, I'll probably put up some regular cams this weekend just to look at activity. If banned, I'll abide by that. So I'm a bit two-faced I guess.
