Wow so because some guys have the time and effort to put in to scout it is now an unfair advantage? I suppose they better outlaw high-end optics also because that gives me an unfair advantage over the guy who can only afford the cheapo 3 x 9. And they better outlaw the high-quality lightweight rain gear that gives those guys a upper hand on all the guys you can only afford the old flannel and jeans.

Water sources are limited and every water hole and spring had a dozen cameras on them being checked regularly and it was putting a lot of stress on the critters.
They're not the first. Nevada has a similar law and I suspect other states do as well.Nevada:Trail CamerasWith certain exemptions, it is illegal to place, maintain or use a trail camera on public land from August 1 – December 31 of each year. July 1 through December 31 if the camera is capable of transmitting.

Yes, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and parts of Utah have this issue. I have seen pictures of water holes or guzzlers with like 20 cameras up on anything they can find or pack in to get a camera up.

I know I will get some flack, but I think all trail cameras should be outlawed. If you want to scout, then get out there and scout.
