New for fall 2019, no trail cameras on Nevada public land during hunting season or on private land without written landowner permission. Should we be looking at similar conservation initiatives here in BC?

So where do you draw the line at fair chase? Range finders, scopes that can make most guys shoots out to 500m easily and trained guys out to 1km, bipods, lighted nocks, electric bikes, mechanical broadheads?
The list go on and on. A traditional bow hunter thinks the modern compound bow is not fairchase bowhunting?
I used to know a guy that did not have a 4x4 and he said it was unfair they "could go anywhere". Once again, where do you draw the line.

Forgot to mention wireless trail cameras used for hunting only.
I am sitting on the fence regarding the first reg but fully agree with the second where there is an instant wireless connection to a person’s phone.
Nevada regs
1)- The new trail camera regulation states that a person shall not place, maintain, or use a trail camera or similar device on public land, or private land without permission from the landowner, from August 1 to December 31 of each year.
2)- If the camera is capable of transmitting the images or video, it shall not be used from July 1 to December 31.
There’s a reason for this section -
27 (4) BC Wildlife Act -A person who hunts game within 6 hours after being airborne in an aircraft commits an offence.
Also would vote against the use of drones for hunting.

I use trail cams to get a read on travel patterns. Having hunted for 3 seasons now I don't think the trail cams have helped me become a better 'killer'.
I like seeing the pictures of what's going on in the forest when I'm not around. It's cool to see antler growth through the summer.
I don't think cameras increase your odds of killing an animal. It would likely increase your odds of killing an specific age class of deer as you'd likely hold off shooting the younger bucks in the Hope's of getting the big buck.
Is the more to the Nevada story? Maybe geography and climate leads to concentration of cams in an area. Say if you're hunting a specific season and some guy/gal is hunting a later season and is there checking a cam when you are hunting...that piss a person off.
To have them ban trail cams in bc would be ridiculous.
