    Utah trail camera use HB 295, lied to?

    I seen that the division is aloud to make rules governing the use of trail cams. I am looking for someone to explain to me if that means they can make rules with out public input.

    Utah trail camera use HB 295, lied to?

    Well said, typically I shoot the first legal animal I come across because for me it is about the meat. I enjoy the rewarding feeling I get when I get to harvest process and put on the table. I only ask because I hear so many hunters say it should be managed for age better. Granted I am only...

    agree I don’t bait because it’s more about the chase for me. I would support this bill if it was amended to separate the use of transmitting cameras and regular trail cams.

    I think you might be onto something. The state could require a permit. It would be hard to enforce. I have two they don’t help me take anything. It is nice that I can even see if I am hunting an area that at least has any elk or deer. But really it’s kind of hobby to test my skills at finding areas.

    Utah trail camera use HB 295, lied to?

    None, here for advice. I just have heard that in area I hunt, that the reason deer population is down. Due to the fact that it is over hunted. People in the community are saying that it’s because hunters aren’t selective enough in their harvest. so I ask why does everyone say they are looking...

    Isn’t it our responsibility as conservationists to take the oldest and maturest animals within our reasonable ability and skill?

    Utah trail camera use HB 295, lied to?

    Yes it is from what I am reading it hasn’t been changed. I don’t believe they are getting any opposition on any other parts of the bill other than trail cam useage. Why isn’t this 2 different bills? Doesn’t make sense.

    Utah trail camera use HB 295, lied to?

    Doesn’t the DNR and others do the same by putting tracking collars on a deer? in figuring averages and statistics don’t you rule out the out liars on either end? doesn’t this kinda of fall under wild life photography? have you thought about how much work it would take to use 120 trail cams...

    Utah HB 295, lies? This out lines limiting use of trail cams. The first draft of the bill said, it would be illega to use trail cams between august 1st and December 31 st. It has gotten some heat. Now it states that the division will be able to make rule regarding trail cameras. Correct...

    House Bill 2676 Oregon ban on New Fur Sales

    I believe you have a great point about fur sale not really being different than meat sale. But my thought is that your trappers are the one doing the most for our predator control. You need to control both. If you look into turkey populations back east most are saying it’s because most the...

    First-hand experiences of women hunters

    These are some disheartening stories. It’s sad, I was raised to treat everyone the same so I do. But this bit me in the but once opposite of all these stories. I bought my wife way to much rifle thinking she could manage the recoil. She takes it like a champ but does not enjoy the rifle. As to...
