Red Sparky Report post Posted March 8, 2018 So, reading through this, I do not think it has been clarified that the new rule means absolutely no cams within 1/4 of a tank? Or is it specific to taking of game? I'm still trying to understand what the law is. You can still put cams out around waterholes. The only power G&F has is to regulate them as to hunting. That means they can say you can't use the image off a game cam, or use it to aid you in patterning game for hunting purposes. Otherwise they have no authority to regulate them. It is up to the land use agency on how the land is used. That means each individual forest service district can set regulations on game cameras. The only national policy I know of from the FS is illegal in a wilderness area. I don't think BLM has a policy on them but you need to check with each land management agency.

bowsniper Report post Posted March 8, 2018 Good point and I agree. But, with AZ G&F you are presumed guilty until proven innocent. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
