G&F commission voted unanimously to ban trail cams

Recommended Posts

hahahaha.  Typical nowadays.  Something happens that you do not like, so you sue someone or an agency.  I hope AZGFD wipes the floor with them.  Guess I will "stay tuned" a little longer.  

The edited commission meeting video was almost comical.  Always shocking when the minority find out that they are in fact the minority and not the majority like they think they are.

Did you talk in or at least watch the meeting?  Comments sent in to the G&F was 2 to 1 in favor of NO  CHANGE, so just how is that the minority?

Actually 1274 people supported a ban or some type of regulation while only 1200 wanted no ban. So more people wanted something limiting trail cameras than people who didnt. 832+442=1274 in support of regulation.

Pretty much a guarantee that this decision will boost age class on the strip. I dont care where you hunt, a unit cannot support killing 20+ 200 inch bucks every single year.

How will it boost age class? Having the cameras allows them to know there are bigger older bucks TO target. Without that they might shoot smaller younger deer without knowing there are older ones present.
