trail cams in montana
« on: January 30, 2012, 02:32:44 PM »
From what I have read they are illegal to use but the other day when researching some outfitters, I came across one that had a bunch of pictures posted from his trail camera. Does anybody know if they are legal for outfitters?

I'm not sure but I think they are only illegal to use during hunting season.

Correct, I believe it is during any legal sanctioned season so that pretty much leaves like June and July. These did seem to be in the summer so maybe that is when they were taken. I am not out to get anyone in trouble but just found it interesting is all.

You know, this actually makes me feel better about living here in Washington. I always thought I might want to move to Montana someday, but now that they banned trail cameras I sure won't be going to that state.

Didn't say I was going to stay here, just that Montana is out. Still could go to Idaho, Oregon, Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming. Couple of those I don't think I'd ever talk the wife into though.   :bash:

So the choices are actually more limited than that.

I have been trying to move and if I do, I am going to have to sell my cameras...  :yike:

Sure would, it's not like there aren't any other states where a guy can go and have good hunting, and still use his trail cameras.

You don't NEED them, but that's not the point. It's a hobby in itself. That's like saying why do you need to hunt? Can't you get your meat at Safeway?

I agree. I don't NEED them to be successful, but boy they sure are fun. It is like Christmas morning every time I go check mine.  :IBCOOL:
