Would you support any of these camera bans?

I don’t feel like that is accurate. Age class of animal is totally dependent on the hunter, I know plenty of people with giants on camera that still harvest little bucks. Additionally, that logic would really only work on a blanket ban of all trail camera use. People that do their due diligence to scout can inventory bucks during the spring/summer with cameras, then hunt the season knowing what bucks are around without the advantage of real time feedback from cell cameras to increase the harvest odds of mature bucks.

I won’t support a ban even if I disagree with it. It, once again is just something they can strip us of like baiting Bear and running cats . Whether I agree with it or not I won’t vote against it

Trail cameras have made me a much more informed property owner. In watching my cameras (none cell cameras as we don't have a signal) I can tell you almost precisely when blue tongue wiped out our whitetails. I have been able to see what kind of predators are cruising around. Have seen trespassers. Have been able to use the cameras during the hunting season to show new/inexperienced hunters that there are, in fact, animals running around and helps them understand deer movement. I love my trail cam "hobby"
hunter399:
Baiting for deer/elk and trail cams go hand and hand.
Might as well do a state wide bait ban with a statewide trail cam ban.
I really don't see one without the other.
Cell cam vs traditional cam.
Many different opinions on this,fair chase,ethics ,all that.

I agree.
Sometimes I will hunt an area that has many bucks.
Not big bucks,it just ups the odds of seeing something legal to hang a tag on.
