Oh good point on the scientific part of that, That never occurred to me. as far as poachers. I dont think poachers make a huge difference in the reduction or even close to lions, the problem is stupid kids and people out shooting everything, those people arent poachers per say there just killers. on the rest you forgot the most important part the Internet that screws up hunting. I agree with this. How many spikes are killed a year? Tons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

6AYoteHunter Report post Posted December 6, 2020 Yep lots of spikes do get nailed each year. I have seen a spike bull once that was extremely old. Guess if they live long enough they get low T and don't grow much. Wouldn't mine passing a bull that old though lol. Probably would be more helpful if we had more water sources. Seems like we have enough feed. Just lack the water in many areas. Maybe this would be a better opportunity for G&F. Rather than ban cameras. Start a camera tag and registration program. All 3 of my cameras have serial numbers. Assume all do??? Then take 100% of that revenue for water sources. Normally don't like a "new tax" but this would be better for the wildlife long term.

How much time, Energy. Resources will be wasted by wardens going to all tanks , water holes accross this state. How are they going to catch anyone or even know who's camera it is. Or will the warden sit for hrs even days to give a citation He may have to put up his own camera to try to get a picture of offender . I'm not joking here.... I bet the fish cops will attempt to use DNA to prosecute a game camera violation. You leave your DNA all over the camera. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

az300wby Report post Posted December 6, 2020 Stillatmaxpoints post this on another thread! The Boquillas is a good model, nothing wrong with hunting the way we did 30 or 40 years ago I have seen it first hand, the quality of the hunt and animals has improved because cameras are not allowed. I bet some people don’t put in for 10 because they don’t know how to hunt without cameras! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im sorry if you have a Arizona hunting license your suspect . They are gonna make criminals out of law abiding citizens. Wake up people!!!!! I would say get a good lawyer, if he harvests that lion 3 months later did that camera really aid in the taking of that lion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhtMtnHunter Report post Posted December 7, 2020 I think it's safe to say that without the game cameras, more big bucks and bulls are gonna slip through the cracks every year. Will it make for better hunting and bigger overall animals in 10 years? 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
