JLW Report post Posted September 28, 2011 Stupid question.... Why is it ok for game and fish to bolt camera boxes to trees but if we get caught doing it we are threatened with fines and such? Last night on the wildlife views show they were showing studies on bobcats and mt lions around the outskirts of tucson and i'll be damned if the camera box they showed wasn't bolted to the tree! BS!!! I guess the laws don't apply to all! james Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertBull Report post Posted September 28, 2011 Maybe the same reasoning that allows the Fed gov't to sell weapons to drug cartels and tap your phone without a warrant? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would it be okay for the thousands of game cameras out there to be "bolted" to trees? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

youngbuck Report post Posted September 29, 2011 Most of the FS laws that I've read, say state game and fish employees are exempt if it is for work. It is something along those lines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Str8Shot Report post Posted September 30, 2011 This is a stupid question ! Why not ask why G&F can harass herds pushing with helicopters and netting or tranquilizing some to collar? They are tasked with managing our resources so guys and gals that love hunting and fishing can do so. Are you really going to try and compare them doing their job to you enjoying your recreation, and then cry foul because they are granted certain freedoms to perform their jobs better. G&F can net and shock a lake to do fish studies, maybe everyone should be able to fish that way as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
