It's been interesting reading through this thread, even a bit humorous, considering another one that occurred several years ago.

Since you seem to be an insider explain why the Dept. is sticking Regional supervisors who have the real work of the G&F to do, with this dirty project.  There are lots of worthless over paid chair sitters hiding in offices in Carefree that do nothing.  😷

I guess being able to read makes you in insider, and by the way most of the carefree employees are working from home now so they're not even in their offices.

The commission should hold meetings in every part of the state if they want to hear other ideas than what the CC has on their agenda.  Hiding in Payson means they are closed to any other suggestions.  

If the guides are the problem then it is the G&F job to control their guides.  The average hunter is not littering the hills with cameras the guides are.  For profit guides should have to operate under different "rules" than average hunters.😷

You can call in or video chat for any of the meetings and not have to leave your house.

It's on

They are proposing 2 options.

1. Complete Ban

2. Season closed for cams July1st-Jan31st.

I vote ban!  Makes enforcing it easier.  

[CouesFanatic]

Seems like its headed that way.

I think they need to fix their internet first

So are those just proposals? Or are they voting on those 2 options?

[CouesFanatic]

They motioned to ban all cameras. Means they are starting the process.

Obviously they don't care about public input. 

All 5 Comissioners voted to proceed. Complete garbage if you ask me

[ThomC]

Yup they the lame and squishy are using the sheep theory instead of pinpointing the actual problem and fixing just that.  😷

I agree. This is an issue where anyone who enjoys using trail cameras no matter how busy you think you are,  needs to take 10 - 15 minutes out their day to email or call the commission.

I dont want cams to be banned. I think they are really cool. I like to see how some animals act. I see that it says "for use of taking game/wildlife" how do they know if it is being used for a hunt or not?

According to commissioner sparks he had just as many public comments for the ban as he did against the ban.
