I'm for banning the naming of big bucks seen on any camera then telling anyone who will listen that he needs another year.
I agree.I love my cell cams. If you don't like them, don't use them. Kind of like using a rifle instead of a stick bow. If they ban cell cams, I want to start lobbying to ban optics and centerfire rifles.
I'm saying I'm not giving up my cell cams. They are still legal in my state anyway so I won't have a problem for now.So, are you saying no rules apply to you regarding tech used to see, track, spot game?
I don't have social media. I don't post on the gram and I don't kill piles of giant bucks. I've never killed a buck by getting a picture notification. Unless you hunt with a stick bow, you are using an advantage to kill deer. Tree stands, saddles, optics, range finders, rifles, guides are all advantages that reduce fair chase.I’ve gone above and beyond attempting to make this about the deer, not people or feelings. I’m not getting through to some folks and that’s fine.
If the only way some folks can enjoy hunting is by “knocking over giants” by whatever advantage necessary, for the sake of their reputation, or for likes on social media than go for it.
Peace out and good luck this fall.
This here is a great example of the logical fallacy of the false dichotomy. It argues that there is only two options, ALL tech legal, or NO tech legal, which isn't the case.This is an ethics and morals argument. Do what you want and believe what you want. Yall want to talk fair chase?? Saddle the horse or take off on foot to your wildness areas where there is nothing but natural food and water and cover and make it happen with your atlatl and other handmade equipment. Don’t even think about wearing your camo or technical clothing. Make it 100% FAIR CHASE the way God put us on this earth.
How ironic, what in the world do you think rokslide is?I don't have social media.
Seems those that use cell cameras are adamant they’re not crossing any ethical line and those that don’t are certain those that do are in-fact crossing the line.
I’ve given some of my buddies a ton of grief about cell cameras over the years. I’ve hunted with traditional cameras for a long time, took a few years off, and came back the traditional cameras again. I killed a really good buck the first year I went back to using them. Had a bit of dry patch through the years without them as far as killing 5.5+ year old bucks.
Just a few weeks ago I purchased 4 cell cams. Doing a bit of an experiment this year. There’s a couple bucks that I’m not going to hunt until I get daylight pictures, which will probably be between Halloween and Thanksgiving. Want to see how it shakes out. If I kill any of them after getting those pictures without ever stepping foot on the place to even check the cameras, I’ll be able to more strongly tell my friends that use them that they’re a crutch.
I can certainly say that I kill bigger deer when running traditional cameras than not. I’m guessing cell cams will only further tilt the tables in my favor. Will report back in December.

What I've found is a mature buck will daylight one day.. so by the time you get a Pic you will be a day late. Last year's buck daylighted once the 1st week of November and then once in the end of November..
Good luck !
It's not Instagram or Facebook where people market themselves like prostitutes for likes. I'm not building a brand or creating some fake life online with pictures of my greatest moments like they happen every day. Hardly anyone here even uses their own name.How ironic, what in the world do you think rokslide is?
