how are you so sure that my camera placements aren't just for fun or to get cool videos and pictures? I place cameras on units that I cant even hunt or wont be able to for at least 10-15 years. What happens when I place my cameras and now have to pick them up by August 1st and say a work or family emergency comes up where I cant get out that weekend to pick them up? Do I get fined? Do my cameras get confiscated? Also, who is going to be enforcing this law? I don't see a way to enforce this since the DWR can't even make it out to check a possible poaching report right now they are spread so thin. All in all, I don't see cameras as being a slam dunk in killing an animal. I might get a picture of one animal one day and never even have them come through again... If you are going to limit these then it is only fair to limit spotting scopes, binocular, long range scopes, rifles, muzzleloaders and archery sights.
Do you have any statistics that migration routes have changed and that baiting and trail cameras are the cause? If they want to implement these there should have to be scientific facts given to prove that. This should have public input and not just a handful of people deciding this.
I’m on the same page, I think people who are on board with this does not have a clue the work it takes to run even 5-10 cameras. It’s not simply putting a camera out and your gonna shoot a big buck. I have run 15-20 the past 5 or so years and haven’t killed an animal that I’ve gotten pictures of. Just cool to see something in nature doing something that I wouldn’t see without it. Baiting I think apples and stuff like that shouldn’t be used but I think minerals should still be an option.
I can get on board with the no baiting but don’t tell me when I can or can’t take pictures of wildlife. I leave cameras out all year round just to get cool pictures. If I can only run cameras from maybe may to the end of July it is taking away my activity I love to do in the off season. And the big guides that run a ton of cameras, you take cameras away and it’s just going to make them hire kids to sit on big animals. Plus how are they going to enforce this? If something happens to where I can’t get out and pull my cameras by August 1st what then?
