You really being serious? 

If something is powered by the flow of electrons, it's "electrical".

Electronics run on electricity which makes them electric. I don't see where the confusion is.

How do get that's legal.  No electronics means NO electronics pretty cut and dry.
just use a go pro type device attached to your head if you want to video your shot :dunno:

Well, you can either ask a game enforcement officer and find out that it is, in fact, illegal, or just go out and try your luck. :tup: See you in two more seasons!

Whats the difference between a flashlight that runs on batteries and a camera that runs on batteries? 

Kinda playing the semantics game really with electronics and electrical. 

If they meant anything electrical that would aid in the taking of game animals, thats what they would have put in the regs.

If you go for it and are succesful, please post a story and photos on here. A kill shot video would be even better.

Wait a minute!  So you guys are saying that I can't have anything electric on my bow?  Shoot, I better go remove my heat seeking, lazer guided, range finding elk eliminator rocket launcher before the season starts.  Too bad to, I works great.  I can just point it towards the mountain I think there is an elk on and fire, and it just finds one, kills it, guts it, packs it out and drops it in the back of my truck.....sheesh, hunting is going to be a lot harder now. :bash:

I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

It doesn't matter what you think...

To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.
