https://www.change.org/p/arizona-game-f ... e_petitionOn December 4th, 2020 Arizona Game and Fish commission voted unanimously in a 5-0 vote to introduce an outright ban on all trail cameras for hunters. This proposed ruling is extreme, vastly opposed by many hunters, would have a severe economic impact and was hastily rushed through the process which raises concerns of bias.

What was the reasoning to ban them in the first place?

What the hell? If you are hunting the desert that is a lot of ground to cover without much intel.

Too much gathering of evidence of government operations/involvement?

Re: AZ Game and Fish Commision votes 5-0 to ban trail cameras
The trail cameras have gotten out of hand in a lot of locations. Some outfitters are running 400 or more in certain units. Waterholes will literally have dozens mounted around them and the amount of traffic going in and out to check the cameras is interfering with the natural movement of animals and livestock. I counted 42 cameras around one semi-secluded tank in 6A a couple years ago. There are some outfitters and guides that can actually track the movement of animals from one cam to another. That makes it easy for them to spot and track trophy animals for their high dollar clients. It is affecting the age structure and trophy potential in some units. Unfortunately, Arizona, unlike other states has no guide and outfitter professional organization to monitor the conduct of guides and outfitters; so, the Commission has to do it. That is where this came from.

Good point jls. I can see both sides. But then again I don't use em and don't see em in the areas where I hunt, so no horse in the race for me.

What a shame.
Now everyone will have to get out of their trucks and hike around to do their scouting.

Never used one until this year hunting with a buddy who has a couple. For a guy who has a tougher time getting around but still enjoys hunting I found it very informative and helpful. Shame the bigger outfitters gotta ruin it for the normal folks.

As someone who works in law enforcement. I have no idea how they are going to be able to enforce this law without a 100% outright ban. The major component to any criminal crime is intent, and proof of that is what gets convictions.
