    Pretty amazed at the amount of people that are ok with the Government taking things away. This should scare you. Just because you think it makes it too easy shouldn't mean its ok for the Government to step in. If you think hunting with a a certain rifle makes it too easy, should the government come in and ban them?

    Also no one is calling out the greasy bait and switch they did with the survey. From what I read they surveyed for cell cameras but used that data to ban ALL cameras.

      Feeders, take much more of the hunt out of it then cameras though.

        i have a feeder set up behind my house. I enjoy getting the pictures on my phone. I would be fairly unhappy if the state told me I couldn’t have a camera set up on land i own and pay taxes on.Click image for larger version

          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 can use that argument at literally any rung of the hunting "ladder". Seems most people's convictions/opinions stop when it reaches a method they use. That's my $.02 anyway.

                All cameras do is take pictures.
                Baiting is illegal in Utah now, the good folks there got that passed along with the trail cam ban base on the actions of some well known outfitters.

                  Only legal to lure game animals away from crops and you must have a permission to do that.

                    You are exactly right. I’m just opining where my line is drawn.

                      If I read correctly, according to the article, you can still use Plot Watch cameras as they are not triggered by motion or heat. Is this correct?

                      "A trail camera is defined as a device that is not held or manually operated by a person and is used to capture images, video, or location data of wildlife and uses heat or motion to trigger the device."

                          It says non hand held cameras here so I think not legal unless it is for monitoring the crops.

                            The state of Texas tells you that you can't kill a deer from February-August. How dare they overstep your right to kill the food you want to eat.

                              I don't understand everyone's gripe about the difference between public and private in this instance. The animals might venture from one to the other multiple times a day. Why should the private land be given the advantage.

                              Should private land have more generous seasons (how about all year long) vs public land hunting seasons?

                              If you wanted to argue about high fence private places like we have all over the place here in Texas, sure have at it, but low fence private is the same as public in my eyes with regards to regulations.

                                Why are we even arguing about another state? We live in Texas, sure some of y’all hunt it and that’s fine. Let’s move on already
