I know enough about them to know that if one gives me a "ping" of a "Booner", a "Hammer, a "Slammer", a "Toad", that is just over the knoll from me in rifle season, there's a very high probability that it's gonna die if I want it to die. And if your buddy tells you over the walie talkie that hammer, toad, booner, slob, swap donkey is just over the knoll from you in rifle season, it is likely to die if you want it to die. But, we have laws to address that already and two ways remain legal to use and possess.

Looks like you're the only one allowed to have an opinion here, hence the pot meet kettle. Not that you'll understand that though....

Laddy Boy, can't you be nicer in your approach ? LOL. You can't still be ass-hurt over the little disagreement in opinion we had months ago, can you ? If so, let it go. This is an internet message board. And you're just another young "e-participant" on it with an opinion that differs from mine. There's no reason to hurl personal type remarks. Not that it matters all that much to me. Relax ! Eat Cake ! Be Happy !

Says the lad running 5 cell cams in season. LOL! Killing deer where i hunt isn't real tough with or without cell cameras. Finally, after all these years, you admit it. 😂😂😂

I run a cell cam year-round. It's more for my viewing pleasure than gaining an advantage. I've never taken one I've got a picture of. I can see how this technology could be easily abused though. Both sides in this discussion make valid points.

It would be a helluva tool to catch 2-legged critters that may be causing problems, such as stand theft, property damage, or any other general mayhem. But, at the price you have to pay for them, I just can't bring myself to offer them up to Joe Public that decides to trespass, free of charge.

I have anti theft boxes for mine, and those are more to protect them from bear damage

I don't have to worry about bears. But, I'm too ummmm "frugal", to pin a couple of Benjamins to a tree, and walk away from them.

I can see, and shoot into, a couple of my fields from behind my garage. With a ping from a camera showing that a deer is about to come into either of them, I could easily grab a rifle, walk 40 yards or so, pick a rest for the rifle, pull the trigger, hop on the four wheeler, drag the deer home, and maybe finish my supper before it cooled. Not real sporting. But, as many "hunters" say; "Hey, as long as it's legal, who's to say it's wrong."

What law is broken under my scenario? ...Maybe that I didn't mention tagging the animal before moving it? BTW, if what I described is illegal, I am not disappointed at all.

Really? What law is broken under my scenario? It is a violation of our existing electronics while hunting laws to use information from a cell camera to assist in real time a hunt. You can use that picture to sit that field on your evening hunt after work, but can't recieve that picture and immediately make a move to that field to interecept the deer. Just like two way radios. You cannot use information relayed to you about a deers position and immediately move towards or use it to assist in the harvest.

If it can be enforced somehow, that's good news. Given that law, and in the interest of sportsmanship, I believe the cameras that send pics in real time should be off limit for use by any licensed hunter in the state during any big game season.

At least radios and phone require two or more hunters and the monitoring is not 24-7.

Apples vs. Potatoes Why. All three are capable of relaying information to hunters in real time about deer movement.

Not "Evil" at all. Especially knowing they're perfectly legal to use in-season. I'm more than likely buying a X-Bow for next year. Between 7 weeks of archery, 2 weeks of rifle, and 3'ish weeks of Flinter, I just may buy 8 of those cell-cams.... IF I can bring my cheap azz to do it. LOL. I'm sure I'll get a "ping" somewhere in those seasons. It will be super convenient knowing I'll be home every day too. Just a hop on the quad away from my "TOAD"!

I don't Turkey hunt, but I can see them being just as effective there too. That said, can I set their motion tolerance enough to catch Morels popping ?
