Right, wrong, or indifferent, a cell cam and baiting ban are in the future. I like using them as much as everyone else, but I am realistic in seeing the unfair advantage they give.

I won’t get this thread anymore off course than it already is, but it’s interesting how many of the popular threads these days lead back to the same discussions. Freedom is a beautiful thing, and I hate government oversight as much as the next guy, but we  hunters have proven time and time again an inability to self regulate. If we can’t get our acts together it’ll all get put under lock and key someday.

Personally I think we have lost enough hunting opportunities.  I’m against any kind of ban    They do enough meddling as it is

Well then shouldn't they atleast legalize checking other people's cameras on public land? After all, I wouldn't wanna have to bring my own camera and set it up if someone else has one on the water hole already. I can just use theirs! It's PUBLIC LAND by golly!
It’s not illegal to check someone’s cam. It’s just plain rude
https://www.howlforwildlife.org/take_action  It takes 10 seconds and it’s free. To easy to make an excuse not to make your voice heard!!!!!!

AZ banned cams for hunting purposes, wildlife photography use of cams is still fine, no need to get panties all bunched up.

I'm saying write it into law that if it's on public land you cannot lock it and you must allow public viewing.

I guess we should all leave our trucks unlocked on public land.
So we can all go through each other's stuff.
Ridiculous lol... 😂
What's your thoughts on that?....🤔

I will admit I've thought about leaving contact info,to try to avoid damage to the camera, And share photos.
Not sure that it would make a difference.
Some peeps are just mad your in that spot period.

So if your woman is out in public? Awe forget it.
I took my wife out a bit during modern deer.
It's hard to find a spot for her to use the restroom at times.

OP, let me know if this is too much off topic and I'll remove.

So if Tcams are made illegal, and you (you as in anyone) come across one in the field, do you take it, or leave it be?

I’m good with however the conversation moves. As long as it’s productive conversation, I don’t see a problem with it. Seems like a legit question to me. If I find a camera, I’m leaving it, I think banning them is completely ridiculous.

I would not look at another hunter's camera. Shoot my hunting partner has cameras on my property and I will not look at his pics unless he shares them with me. I have and will take his camera to the property and hang it for him where he asks, and bring it to him if he asks, but I do not look at his pics. He would not care in the slightest, but I just wouldn't do it. It is not my camera nor my pics. The fun of the cams is to see what it caught that we do not see. I enjoy sharing my pics with him and vice versa.

I lock mine now for that reason. people are lazy, your not going to shoot quality animals if your not willing to put in the work. I've found people don't realize how much money and time folks put in when they run a lot of cameras.

I agree 💯 percent.
It's a turn off to share trail cam pics with HW.
When so many disapprove of something that is legal.
Guys that put in so much hard work ,only to share the best pics with everyone. Pretty much get spit on by a few,that don't want to do the work.
