New AZGF rule (proposed, which means it’s a done deal) about game cameras:

[Non-Typical Solutions]

for the purpose of taking or aiding in the take of wildlife

 

Is that even enforceable???

[lancetkenyon]

So they can legally confiscate trail cams around water sources. It might put a stop to the thousands of guide cameras in trophy units where there are 20 on each tanks sending instant photos.

If your a guide your screwed. Ain't nobody gonna believe a guide using a trail cam on water is doing it just for fun and not for hunting. Maybe this new rule was more aimed at guides over using trail cams on water sources when compared to everyone else.

Guide fees are going to increase I suspect, or clients will need to adjust their expectations.

No they can't because how would they know your intent is hunting

Can they though? How would they prove it was to aid in the taking of wildlife?

[bowsniper]

They can and will do what ever they want.

[4Falls]

Why make it so confusing. Why not just say no trail cams. Period. Oh, and by the way. No cell phones, GPS's, Tablets, Google Glasses, Computers or even satellite imagery obtained from a third party if you hunt, plan on hunting or would someday like to go hunting.

I'm all for it.Won't affect my hunting one bit. I am old school and don't even own a computer.

The "take" of wildlife includes "pursuing" wildlife under ARS 17-101. "Take" does not always mean "hunting."

It's not about cameras, it's about control and revenue. Mr. "Old School", I can't wait to hear you whining when G&F passes the next rule banning some "old school" stuff.

How am I supposed to take you seriously when you're literally on the internet as we speak

Computer? How are you on this web site?

[trphyhntr]

It's always the guys that don't want to put in the time, money, effort, that it takes to run cams that say they're "all for it"

[wildwoody]

It's real time satellite images. Google earth is not real time, and how in the heck would they no you used it..
