Trail cams, is Nevada the first to take this position.

Hunting with drones was legal until they were outlawed.  My point is you could make the same argument about drones as you can for cameras.  I don't take the position that we need to be unified and be against any new regulation.

Agree

Drones actively harass and frighten wildlife, and are controlled in real time by a person who is there.  Not the same thing.

guys checking game cams harass and frighten wildlife, and are controlled in real time by a person who is there.  Not the same thing.

 

I agree though, that drones are much more invasive and not true to Fair chase.

Apples and oranges.

By that logic, so do people going into the woods period.  So no scouting allowed whatsoever.

Walking to a cam to check it gives the possibility of spooking an animal that might possibly be nearby.

The entire purpose of the drone is to actively seek out and approach wildlife.

Your arguement is weak.

Wow!  Like I said, I bet I would take some slack on my comment.  Its not because I don't use it that I think it should be illegal.  I just wonder where hunting has been in the past and where it will be going in the future.  Im getting older and have witnessed a lot over the past 50 years.  We are on the cusp of our technology ruining all that we love.  And Im not just talking hunting.  Our family relationships, the interaction with friends and neighbors, politics, and everything else we like to do such as sports and hunting.  Look what outdoor hunting shows have done to hunting.  It has over emphasized trophy hunting and also given ant-hunting people and groups tons of ammo to use against us.   We have to be careful with technology and hunting.  It has a potential to destroy and or cause serious problems with the sport we love.  Everyone's opinion of when it crosses the line is different and I don't think we need to start that argument.  Its just my opinion that trail cameras are just a little bit to much.  Its my OPINION.  I get wrapped up in all of the technical stuff myself.  All of the latest technical gadgets, long range shooting fads, and so forth.  Once again, its just my OPINION that we are on a slippery slope when it comes to technology and hunting.  Soon we will change the name of hunting to harvesting.  After that it will all be over.  Once again, JUST MY OPINION.

So youre into long range hunting, but think trail cams should be illegal because the technology gives an unfair advantage.  Makes perfect sense.  Youre a man of integrity and principle.

You sure are good at dressing down others opinions when the differ from yours.  The jabs at the end are sure in good taste.  Not much integrity or principle.

Sticking together as a hunting community starts with civility, something you are drastically lacking. 
It's these types comments that are ruining this forum.

Am i dressing down his opinions, or pointing out blatant self serving hypocrisy?

This guy wants to outlaw what he doesnt like, thats not "sticking together as a hunting community."

Agree. Good post.

I actually don't see where he says he is a long range guy, he appears to be against it, the way I read it.
At any rate the insults are gonna stop one way or another.

Its not even that im good at it.  If i find it easy to come up with sound, rational rebuttals, thats just a good indicator that my ideas have some merit to them.

He said he gets "wrapped up in" long range shooting fads etc.  Sounds to me like hes a long range enthusiast.  But maybe im interpreting that wrong.

You've missed the point.
I'll leave you to it.

Just checking in.

Keep it civil folks.

Everyone has an opinion no need for personal attacks.  Let's stay on topic and discuss both sides of the issue rationally.

I am not in to long range shooting.  350-400 yards is considered a considerable poke for me and the weather and conditions would have to be close to perfect.  I was using the new fad as one of many that is harming hunting (IN MY OPINION)

This forum is for people to discuss ideas, experiences, and opinions when it comes to hunting.  Like I mentioned in my above post, the technology is ruining (here it is the internet) our hunting and our relationships.  I stated my opinion and some members who disagree want to take personal jabs when they don't agree.  You don't have to agree with me but attacking and slandering is not what we need to see here.  Just state your opinions and reasoning and that is good enough.  We will all learn and be able to take something useful from the forum.
