Would hate to be a resident of Utah

Hello, we are from the government and here to help! Wake up man!

Bwahaha!

Trust us... it's going to be ok... for us...

Great move on their part. The outfitters were going crazy with cams on waterholes etc..
Wish all states would ban them for hunting, especially cell cams, they have been banned in many states.

Why is about the outfitters? Not trying to be snarky at all.

[Encinal]

I say we ban looking at tracks next.

This does nothing to limit harvest and everything to limit selective harvest for people with less money.

It's laughable. It's going to put more people on the ground scouting for governors tag bucks on public land and make criminals out of private landowners who are managing for wildlife and want to be more selective.

Western states may vote red, but "public landowners" are socialist as hell.

It’s crazy how many people think that cameras make you “less of a hunter”. I run cameras 365 days on my place, but that doesn’t mean I kill more deer them anyone around me. We use them to keep records of animals and just to see what’s around.

[kyle1974]

Of course the residents are going to want to ban things that can assist out of state hunters killing "their" animals.

Yes. Their animals, especially on federal lands. Drives me nuts how state residents get massive preference on federal lands.

Utah WAS one of the most free states policy wise regarding hunting until the last 10 years.

Every single hunter should be a member of an organization fighting to maintain our rights. The lack of involvement is why we're losing

[Longue Carabine]

Good move.

The government can and should regulate means and methods for harvesting wildlife resources of the state (people), no matter where they are taken.
Y’all think spotlighting on private property is OK?

Why wouldn't I? It's private property. It should be managed as the owner wishes.

Why wouldn't I? It's private property. It should be managed as the owner wishes.

Spotlighting on your property is fine as long as your not killing game animals.

I do agree on public land. Pressures animals off of a resource they need. Water. Private land is a massive over reach.

False. I’ll use the NRA as an example. Lining their pockets and they care less and less about their original purpose. Politics and money. THAT is why we are losing

[Jon Stewart]

I see it as a good move. Game cameras take the hunt out of hunting.

They (cameras) take the hunt out of hunting yet it is legal to use bait in Utah. That kind of takes the hunt out of hunting doesn't it?

All cameras do is take pictures.

I agree with this. The pressure around water holes is enough to ban them IMHO.

[Hogmauler]

Don’t forget that federal and state game wardens are putting their own cameras on your land as well. Without your knowledge. Just to keep honest people honest.

I did and the answer I got when googled it was an older answer. It is legal to bait except for hunting purposes.
