Would hate to be a resident of Utah

If any of you read the regs you would see cams for security purposes are legal and to protect your crops.

For those saying only illegal if caught good luck, is it worth it to lose your hunting rights in 48 states over a trail cam? GWs won't be the only folks watching.

I use Cellular Game Cameras and strategically place them to serve as Security Cameras also on my property . I can't imagine ever being ok with the government telling me I couldn't . . .

Only illegal if you get caught “ catch me if you can “

They’ll put up a game camera to catch whose putting up game camera’s.

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

It is not false. And your attitude is a dangerous one. As someone who has been involved with the legal side of hunting and firearms, I can tell you that unfortunately most of you have no idea how much you are being out-campaigned, out-organized, and out-spent. I hate to say it but this community is being absolutely destroyed and all the dominoes have been lined up for things to get much worse. This is not the same situation as things were 30 years ago, 10 years ago, or even 5 years ago. This a is a make or break period in history and unfortunately we are currently outgunned by a large margin. And don't think that voting is going to rectify these issues. That isn't how things get done anymore.

I'm sure Big Foot will appreciate that.

And baiting doesn't take the hunt out of hunting.

I suppose some are upset that you send a text on your phone to a buddy that a big one is coming his way.

I don't get the argument about having a trail cam out. I use them on my property all the time.

That exact scenario played out on another forum a few years ago after a TBH'r shot a nice elk.

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

Please elaborate. How would this be unconstitutional?

Also, if it's "the publics" land, wouldn't that be the exact place where representatives chosen by the public would have a responsibility to do what they see best for the public?

I think you are correct. This is a Tenth Amendment or state rights issue.

I don’t agree with it but unconstitutional? Under what amendment?

It could certainly be under a stste constitution.

Do feeders tell you what’s coming in and what time? Do feeders send you cell phone pictures?


But I agree with the ones saying banning cameras on private property is bs.

You know what time they are set to go off, so time is somewhat known. Not eveey animal will show up at the exact time every time either. Alot use feeder lights and know when the animals are at the feeder also. Isee the reason not to use them, I don't here anyways. But I don't rifle hunt either, as that is pretty much putting the odds in your favor in a huge way. But to each there own. I don't give to sheets if they out law them really.

[denimdeerslayer]

I dont use trail cameras. I just ride around and talk to my deer a few times a day and feed them off the ranger lol

[jfk47]

On another note im going to start looking into the Utah classified sections for some good deals on game cameras lol [emoji23]

I don't know man, all the residents comments I've seen are in favor and on Monster Muleys they seem to be all in favor.
I'm not sure we don't need some state gov. when it comes to wildlife and hunting. I sure don't want the feds telling me how to hunt in my home state.
And we needs laws to protect populations from over hunting.

We already have those laws. If they were going to outlaw cell cams on public that would have been one thing but to outlaw their use across the board is a seriously disturbing thing to me. Its insane.

I have an opinion that x-bow hunting should not be considered the same as a vertical bow with the recent advancements. That being said I would in no way support the government coming in and outlawing them across the board. Make it to where you can't use it during archery only? Maybe, but not outlaw them completely. Would really prefer they leave it alone.

[Dale Moser]

I've seen the photos of 30-40 trail cams next to a public water hole, and that's pretty disgusting.


To tell people they can't use them on private land is absurd.

In the end, the DWR says their surveys showed most of the public opposed the use of cellular trail cameras that transmit real-time images and footage. However, the board decided they would ban both transmitting and non-transmitting types of cameras used "in the harvest or to aid in the harvest of big game between July 31 and Dec. 31.) This ban applies to both public and private land.

This thread is seriously disappointing me. We're Texans. We're not supposed to support government overreach. Read above. This isn't what the people wanted. They got duped. Wake up.
