I also agree strongly, despite what I think about cell cams vs traditional. I wouldn't support any ban.
If we have learned anything,when it's gone, gone forever.
With our current commission, keeping any opportunities,is better then what's coming on the commission end of things.

Its a feel good smoke a mirror game

I don’t feel like that is accurate. Age class of animal is totally dependent on the hunter

The hunters mindset will be dependant on the information he has..trail cameras provide information for the hunter to make a decision
Your inventory completely changes from summer to fall.. real time cell cams could be delayed by 24 hours or what ever the ethics police determines but an outright ban is a step in the wrong direction
Trail cameras will turn a hunter from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset...the same people looking to ban cameras wont see any difference in there succes and will move onto tbe next thing to ban...its a culture thats eating itself

Ban em all!

I don't support in general any restrictions of our hunting and recreational abilities ...
Unfortunately we enter the woods right now with rules and regulations based for the most part on perceived necessity... Wether we agree or not there needs to be something in place to stay ahead of technology...cams, drones, smart phones...all give us the advantage. Many of us did just fine harvesting animals pre technology. (The good days)..I'm not against technology...but at some point we need to be honest and draw a line...even if it's squiggly.
If we don't regulate ourselves the State, timber companies etc...will regulate us.
I know of people that set up elk camp, set a dozen cell cams, and sit by the fire watching their phone... :o....
Also of note... I knew of some Foresters that would take cams they found on timber company land...their tree's their rules..... there's also FS rules in place for leaving items unattended..
We don't like ghost camps, random tents, or tree stands littering the land.....at least I don't.
I'm not sure if there's a perfect answer...
But regardless.... we'll see something in the next couple years..

If you don't want your tree stand messed with,be sure to leave the piss bottle. Nobody wants that...lol
