This is one law that will be very hard to enforce. Baiting is illegal whether you're a hunter or not. Cameras will not be illegal, just illegal to use in the aid of taking game. So if my cameras are out in a unit that I do not intend to hunt, but intend to watch antler growth, which is what I love most about cameras, I will be legal. How can anyone prove that I am using that camera to aid in taking game. Even if I do intend to hunt the area, how can you ever prove that a camera helped a hunter take a particular animal. It's obvious that you are pro-ban, which is fine, but your multiple haughty responses on the subject are getting old.

Rut this year has been as spotty and inconsistent as I've ever seen. The last two days, every big buck I saw was tight to a doe but not showing any signs of her being ready to breed. No little bucks bugging em. These same dates last year the bucks were already bachelored up. Post rut. I saw multiple does get bred the first week of January last year. I personally believe that most does have yet to be bred in my areas.

AZ G&F Commissioners discuss why they want to ban Trail Cameras
creed_az_88 replied to Sundevils79's topic in Trail Cameras
He said that they are bought in packs of 6 or 12 because he likely doesn't use them himself. I hate to be critical of these guys because I am typically on their side and I know they have a tough job, but it was clear to me they have never tried to locate a big coues deer with a camera and then hunt that deer. Beyond difficult and very non invasive. But an all out ban is easier than thoughtful regulations. -
AZ G&F Commissioners discuss why they want to ban Trail Cameras
creed_az_88 replied to Sundevils79's topic in Trail Cameras
I appreciate their willingness to talk about it. I needed to hear it. I walked away from the podcast thinking that maybe they do mean some good. Their overall concern seems to be about water however. They mentioned it many times and they feel like trail cameras on water may be detrimental to animals. I agree with that to some degree. But why the ban statewide? Why make a ban that affects the guys who run a handful of cameras out in the middle of nowhere in Southern Arizona not anywhere near water? I feel like those guys have no idea how difficult it is to capture pictures of big bucks away from water. I would bet that very few of the commissioners have ever even attempted to set a camera that wasn't on water if they've ever even set one. Regulate them if you must, but don't BAN them. The chairman made clear that he felt that trail cameras were taking away sportsman's need for tracking skills and etc., but I would argue that it's the exact opposite when setting cameras away from water or bait. -
Red or black reticle?

QAD LD HDX, or Ripcord arrow rest?

I've had the same qad for 10 years. Never skips a beat. -
6.5CM 140 accubond success?
creed_az_88 replied to dcshorthairs's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Creed velocities are a little slow for bonded bullets in my opinion. I would lean more towards the ballistic tips from nosler if you want to shoot a nosler. You will give up some bc's to the eldx's but the ballistic tips are slightly tougher. If the eldx bullets group better then I say just stick with them. -
No he didn't. What are you talking about?

Predator contests and archery hunting within 1/4 mile are two very recent bans.

Do not think for a second that hound hunters aren't at risk of losing their right to legally hunt lions with hounds just like those of us who like to use trail cameras are about to lose our right to use trail cameras in our deer hunting areas. Whether you like trail cameras or not, you should be very hesitant to support any all out ban by the commission. I dont mean to direct this to you delw, I mean it for anybody who is on board with this ban. I can understand both sides of the argument, and I can understand the commission looking into the problem and thinking of a fix, but an all out ban statewide is overkill and is similar to punishing all of the kids at the school because some of the seniors keep ditching school. If the commission can so easily take something like trail cameras away, they will eventually take away something like using hounds to hunt cats, especially in the southern units near "jaguar country" just as easy. And it won't stop there. Our country is in bad shape because Americans are so willing to let government have full control. This is no different in my opinion.

Any idea on impact velocity from those two? Thanks for sharing i love seeing how different bullets perform.

Azgfd website just print them.

Freaking awesome.

I'm fully expecting my hunting to take a big nose dive once the kids come of age. Were gonna plan on filling freezers for sure.
-
Man I'm jealous you get to do all that with your kids. Good job buddy.

Weaken spine. Decrease arrow speed slightly. Increase energy slightly. You're basically going to add 9 inches of weight or so to your total setup. That will have minimal effect whatsoever. The only benefit i see would be to help with clearance on your rest or something like that. The weakening of the spine may help or may hurt your tuning depending on your setup but it most likely won't effect it at all.

Sure is green.

The els had an effect on me when I first glassed with them. If I panned sideways to fast it would make it appear like a distorted ball rolling into the center of the glass. It made me nauseous when it happened. I've used the els multiple times since and it has never bothered me again. It only happened when I panned sideways too fast.

Someone got a good deal.

I agree with you. From what I could tell i think the zeiss and the meoptas were very very close and I gave the meoptas a slight but minimal edge for my eyes.
-
Yup many times. The only thing I would buy over them is the Swarovski hds if I had to stick with 15's. But if i could only buy one high end pair of glass in your price range it would be meopta 12's and put the remaining amount of money into a spotting scope which in my opinion is necessary with 12's or 15's.

You think non HD swaros are better than meoptas or zeiss?
