New trail cams and drones

[laxwyo]

I hope Wyoming moves to outlaw the new cellular trail cams and using drones in any fashion.

The instantaneous nature of cellular trail cams doesn't seem to fit with a fair chase mantra. Oh look, the big buck is at cam #4. I'll brb.

Drones seems like a no brainier with the current aircraft regs

Completely agree.

I will shoot at any drones flying over my hunting areas. They have no place in the woods.

Our law enforcement fly drones down here looking for meth labs & marijuana patches. I think that is a good thing, but for private ownership to scout with is not. I'm old school I guess!

These guys that come by work sometimes take pics with a drone and all I can say is they have no idea how lucky their drone was that I was not armed when it went over a few times!

I know a lot of Wyoming doesn't have good cell service but I'm as worried about the cellular trail cams as I am drones. I wonder if it's even crossed anyone's mind in the legislature or g&f

In Nv Drones are not allowed during any open season. They can be used for scouting pre season. As far as the cell cams I haven't heard anything about them not being allowed.

Just seems to me that folks are getting lazy. Pretty much anything is allowed on high fenced ranches and so be it. But public land I doubt any of us would not have our cross hairs on a drone flying over our hunting area.

It is illegal to shoot at drones with any shotgun smaller than 12 gauge, or with any shot pellet smaller than #4.

Does this mean shooting at them with 00Buck from a 12 gauge is legal?!!!

Think it's okay, but you need a migratory stamp.

Lmbo! That's a good one.

Can one be banned from this forum for owning a drone? Just want to be upfront and come clean. My wife bought me one for my birthday. It literally came yesterday. Don't even know anything about them or how to operate. Guess I better learn if I'm gonna be dodging buck shot and such.

Only if you cross the Mississippi with it!

Drones and cell cams are just the next evolution of trail cameras. Moon phase, date, temp, GPS location, infrared, no flash night shots. No one learns to really read sign anymore. If you are fair chase, learn to hunt. If you just wanna have big animal heads and pics to brag about, do whatever.

Drones and trail cams add up to lazy hunters. Can't read sign, can't stalk, must shoot from a different zip code.

Stay a couple hundred yards up you should be clear!

I agree. It's a new era, great great great grandpa would argue that anything besides barefeet a rock and a loin cloth would be considered "lazy" I'm sure there will be policies in each state eventually that ensure guidelines on such technology. I'm all for trail cameras. Especially when my hunting grounds are hours and hours from my doorstep. Life gets busy with kids and work and it's nice to know there are critters in the area you intend to hunt with your sacred days off. The cell cameras are a bit much for me. But if I was one of them foodplot, private land kinda fellas I could probably justify it.

Good point! I'm sure drones could help out west but down here in the south the woods are too thick to scout using a drone. Now if I could fly mine from here out west to scout so I didn't have to drive out, now that could be helpful and cost effective.

Don't worry guys mine will be used for cool fishing videos not for scouting. If I can figure it out.

 

[packmule]

If you don't get it figured out, you may want to attach a buoy to it.

Our deer would just think the Mosquitos were flying high if they heard one come over.

I would put this under the same category of not being able to hunt the same day as you fly in, like Alaska and other places do. Only difference is the physical person not being in it. Like others have said, it is just being lazy and unethical in my mind.
