Why would Utah ban trail Cams?

Glad to hear this - nothing better than earning some inside knowledge scouting - and glassing - and doing it like those before did.
Utah is B&C Muley Country. The boys on the left coast - this is their SOUTH TEXAS WORLD in the Trophy quest for Muley bone.
And Public Land hunts - cameras somehow increase the OWNERSHIP OF A SETUP more - on Public Land - and I can be close to darn well certain - mixing a bunch of TYPE A HUNTERS into a Property on Public land scene = Nothing good to come of it.
Zero feeders - zero influence and all free chase - fair game - TROPHY HUNTERS.
CAMERAS give the edge to TODAY'S hunter - those old records never had them and glad to see them kick that crap to the curb out there.
Leave it FREE and make them EARN IT - TOP DOWN.
We camped months and scouted - in mule deer country - well ahead of the September openers.
Cameras then - did not exist and if they did - I can guarantee those found would end up missing - not by me but the LOCALS
Out west - many frown on feeders - technology - ATVs (horseback bike or foot only) - lived it and hunted it 1996 - 2000 living and working out west.
My taxidermist who mounted my mule deer - many book class UTAH Mule deer in his home in Western Washington State. He left Washington each year - the entire season in Utah - was his world. And him and many of that time - frown on anything but fair chase. Base camp on public land - horses and hiking to well glassed and scouted areas - where book animals were scouted - and that info - was tight.
Cameras - this tosses that inside work and knowledge - without the investment and time - into doing it truly FAIR CHASE.
Thats my .2
The series YOSEMITE comes to mind......I bet they would love game cameras?

Opening morning - mule deer country - Public Land - BLAZE ORANGE in the EASY ZONES. Add cameras - I can see some SSS scenes with many - who are caught up in the moment.
It's bad enough to deal with others - on PUBLIC LAND HUNTS.
No stands illegal, no feeders illegal, no mechanized mobility machines to pack in and or out.
That's how I lived it and that wasn't too long ago there.
The WIFI techno BS doesn't fly - with the spirit of the WEST.
Let's keep it that way.
We have other areas where those who are in that business, money drives everything - let them shoot all the hogs and managed hunts - if that floats your boat - till the cows come home
WEST = KEEP IT PURE

No dog in this fight, but for big game it seems to conflict with fair chase.
Very effective on pigs here in Texas!
Also, all the camera owners seem like too much foot traffic around a vital water hole.
I'll bet you $100 he doesn't say Spypoint.
