GreyGhost85 Report post Posted June 8, 2018 Glad to hear the cam law didn’t pass. We now have the more important issue at hand. Don’t stop yet. We , the sportsmen are 1-0 today. Let’s make it 2-0. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ohthatguy Report post Posted June 8, 2018 Probably gave us this ruling so they can vote yes on conserve and protect. Pretty cynical thing to say. Give them some credit. You get what you want and then question why they do it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted June 8, 2018 WOW! that was an amazing turn of events! Commission voted 5-0 not to ban passive trail cameras anywhere in the state! I was so happy with the one commissioner who took the time to call all the major fair chase groups like Boone and Crockett and Pope and Young and all the groups said passive trail cameras have no bearing on Fair Chase! Apparently that was enough to change Kurt Davis's mind on the subject and he rescinded his motion to pass it. Wow. Good for the commission. And a BIG THANK YOU to all the sportsmen and women who took the day off to go up there and speak and presented great arguments. And to all those who wrote emails or personally spoke with the commissioners. The system worked! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heat Report post Posted June 8, 2018 That was worth watching just to see that look on the face of the Department's rep that made the recommendation, like he just took a bite of a turd sandwich, lol! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flatlander Report post Posted June 8, 2018 I am sitting here in Mesa where he is the region manager. His folks were pretty disappointed. They spent a lot of time on that recomemdation. Glad the system worked. Even though I am not a big trailcam guy, I think this was a huge step forward for the relationship between the commission and the sportsmen. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kind of worry some that they tried to pass this as fair chase and none if the major orgs agreed with it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sneaker Report post Posted June 8, 2018 That was kind of strange about Davis. He was very pro-ban, and even made a motion to ban them, then withdrew his motion, then he didn't even vote against the motion to keep them. Its interesting that it wasn't until he saw that he was going to lose the vote that he completely flipped sides... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ohthatguy Report post Posted June 8, 2018 Sounds like Pete got what he wanted. If the license fee increase is off the table as Commissioner Davis stated, there are limited ways to raise the money. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes that was a big win for Pete and there was no chance to comment on it because it wasnt part of the proposal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
