If it’s not here already, I suspect that high-resolution real-time satellite imagery will be available to consumers in the near future: a live version of Google Earth.

It's hard to imagine that there was a day when hunters could get game without Mt Palomar sized telescopic sights, without computerized ballistic calculators and weather instruments, without GPS, without laser rangefinders, and without $600 shirts.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

I get mine at Goodwill for $600; I just can't see myself spending $900 on the same thing new. ;)

"If you have a cam next to a clear cut,or open area ,and you show up 20 mins after animal has been there ,it's gonna be pretty easy to spot said animal"

If you DRIVE into a clear cut and an animal has been there for 20 min. it's gonna be pretty easy to spot from your vehicle...OUTLAW vehicles while hunting too.  Walk & Stalk only.. also OUTLAW spotting scopes...you could spot an animal a couple miles away and then go after said animal. Open the can of worms...

It's not opening a can of worms.  Game agencies need to address new technology as it comes out which is different than reexamining normal and customary hunting practices.

The technology is letting us be better hunters with out becoming better hunters.....its amazing how much knowledge is lost about hunting

Is it normal and customary hunting practice to shoot a bull elk at 1,000yds.? If they want to address new technology where do they start. There's a whole bunch of "new technologies" in that can of worms.

There is part of me that wants to ask if food plots and mineral licks placed in the woods is really fair chase....but so as not to start an argument....I wont.

Sooo, have these cameras been an issue? Is this just another case of creating a solution to a non existent problem  :dunno:

I did see a "hunting" show a few years back, one of the many that convinced me that these shows don't really portray hunting as I know it. 

The host was pushing new cell enabled trail cams.  He pulled out his phone and had just happened to get an alert and a picture from one of the multiple cell cams out on the ranch.  "I'm headed out there right now!  These new cameras tell me what stand to go to find the deer!"  It was on some farm or ranch down south somewhere.  I can guarantee he shot the deer on the cam, fist bumped his camera man and the rest of the entourage that was along for the kill, yelled "I SMOKED HIM!!!!" and did some sort of victory dance. 

I have no doubt that at some point, you will see a hunter in his elevated "cabin" stand, snoring on a comfy bed while his cell enabled cameras "alert" him to wake up, open the window and shoot at the deer that just triggered his cam outside his hunting palace blind.  Inside the palace blind will be a full kitchen, heater, TV, and a recliner, multiple screens streaming video from his cams just outside, and a full working bathroom. 

Now that's hunting!

I would guess (just seems the way things happen) that someone with a little influence probably didn't get 'their' bull and heard that the guy that did was using those cameras.  Probably a one guy thing.  Again, just my wild guess.

Just make them illegal once the season has started.  Patterns should already be figured out by then.

That's how Montana does it.  Not that I am for any more restrictions, just saying that is how Montana's law was written, come opening day of archery, no more cameras in the woods.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.
