is it Legal?? i interpret the regs as its ok
« on: August 09, 2013, 08:50:04 AM »
the regs state b.   It is unlawful to have any electrical equipment or electric device(s) except for illuminated nocks, attached to the bow or arrow while hunting.  Now to me that says nothing about ELECTRONIC DEVICES.... electrical devices to me means flashlights, and so on any thing that will give you the advantage to hunt an harvest an animal... I made this last night to hopefully capture a nice kill shot... i interpret the regs to state that its ok to mount electronic devices... theres a difference between electrical and electronic... doesn't state i cant mount a camera.... what do you all think?? Am i interpreting this wrong? or do i use it an remove it? its not giving me any advantages...

I dont believe that is legal.
What would life be without the thrill of the hunt?

How do get that's legal.  No electronics means NO electronics pretty cut and dry.

Kinda splitting hairs here. No, it's not legal.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

Also, it is illegal to put your shaft through a whisker biscuit that is less than 16 years old.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Electronics run on electricity. Therefore they are electrical. NOT LEGAL!

Anything that has a battery would be illegal.

As stated, unfortunately, and stupidly, cameras are in the same category as rangefinders and flashlights and are illegal to have on your bow.   :bash:  to this rule regarding cameras, not the OP.
