Wouldn't bother me if it happened everywhere. Cameras make hunters lazy and take away a big part of the hunting experience. When I was younger before cameras everyone was always fired up for opening morning and had no idea what may walk out. Now, if there isn't something special on the camera its hard to get motivated to even hunt. At our lease we use them throughout the summer but take all of them up once the season starts. If you want to kill a certain animal you will have to get out and find him.

People have 0 skills anymore as far as a woodsman/hunter goes.

It's just another tool in the bag.
Or what time pigs are coming in.
But I don't run them all the time and don't determine anything but that from them. And if one craps out or I don't replace a card I don't worry about not having it up.
They are a good management tool if used for that. That said I've hunted elk enough to know if you arrive a few days ahead of season, put a fee cameras on water seeps, trail along chutes and funnels and find the most active ones you could have an advantage.
There are a lot more people chasing elk than ever. More people encroaching into habitats building homes and less places for them to roam.
I don't know that this makes much of a positive difference for the animals but time will tell.

Banning them statewide is kind of knee jerk, but on public it makes sense. How many calls do you think they got that somebody's camera, left on public land, went missing? How many hunts do you think got ruined because bubba went to check the camera that marks "his" spot? Full disclosure, I've got cameras at my feeders. At some point it ain't hunting, it's just picking one to shoot. Now you'll actually have to put in the smallest amount of effort to scout public land? The horror...Last edited by jdg13; 06-23-2021, 07:21 AM.
