They’ll get a yes from me

Good riddance. It looks like this includes a few other items as well which I fully support

"which includes prohibition of thermal imaging, night vision technology, transmitting trail cameras, and any aircraft for big game scouting or hunting between Aug. 1 to Dec. 31"

I can bet if they are outlawed even more will get stolen.  Not sure where I stand on this, mostly disagree with the ban.  Seeing wildlife act in real time is pretty cool.

Time to really camo them up I guess

It's ignorant... All the call-cams do is save a trip into the woods to check a regular camera and keep out some scent. If the guys smart enough to hang the camera in certain type spots, it's obvious he doesn't "need" it to be successful. If you're using hi-powered rifles with scopes, range finders, spotters etc and are for this passing you're simply turning on other hunters. Those things I mentioned are a type of "hunting aides" as well and that can't be argued lol. Hunters against hunters is the worst thing for the sport and falls in line with the liberals/antis way of thinking!

I'm all for it.

I thought game cameras were already illegal in Idaho during hunting season like they are in Montana. Is this just an extension of the current rule or was I wrong?

All for banning that garbage.

[spin05]

Not for this at all.  All a trail cam does for me is tell me what kind of animals are in a certain spot. Saving me gas money and time.  Especially in the case of Cell cams. You can not set it up to transmit right after every pic. So its not like you can use it as a aid to go shoot something that happens to be there right now in real time.  The batteries just wont support it. Mine are set to transmit twice a day. 6am and 6pm.  By then the animal you may have on a pic is long gone. Its just nice to know whats in the area so you are not just on a hike

That's bs.
I know guys who literally sit on the couch and wait until the big bear hits their bait and then go in to kill it.
It's straight up lazy, cheating, and not hunting in their case.

Kodiak06 is right, it’s just another form of technology.  Hunters against hunters yet again.  Muzzloaders shoot 300+ yards with just 1x scope, much further w more power scopes. 1000 yard rifles now, and so on.  does a cell camera have a more negative effect or advantage on wildlife than any of the other tech?  When it comes to banning stuff w hunting, I’ll lean more on the side of the hunting and less the feelings.
