    Are they talking about a loaded gun on a stand somewhere that you can control with your joystick at home? (I know that was tried in Texas years ago)

    I do remember years ago a prototype of an electronic gun came out. Cartridge was made of compressed powder with an electronically ignited "primer", can't remember the name of it though. Never got off the ground.


    EDIT... went back through the proposed description and its more geared towards "hi tech optics"... The range finder/reticle interface. Why not just prohib the optics, rather than the firearm??
    I looked these up on youtube because I'd never heard of them...check it out, pretty crazy technology. I don't understand how anyone can argue these weapons as fair chase.

    On the subject of electronic guns, I worked on this exact technology in the Navy...it is well established and I imagine if there was a private market for this a company could make a go at it.

    So, now it's in black and white (or should I say green)

    BUT, I AM PERPLEXED why they would "ban them from ATV closed/banned areas"!!!??????????????????
    Example, the elephant hill fire closure MU's.
    I get they were worried about "some" ATV users going off road due to all the open area to drive thru due to the fire.
    BUT, one can still use their vehicle to drive the roads.
    SO, WHY CANT ONE HUNT USING AN ELECTRIC BIKE ON THE ROAD????
    Makes no sense what so ever.

    Honestly, folks should be allowed to use their ATV/ORV's, AS LOND AS THEY STAY ON ROADS.
    The fact that they now have plates on them should make it allowable and easy to report if they don't.
    (that was a problem to report illegal ATV use in the past, because there were no plates attached, but things are different now)

    So, truck on road is ok, but ATV is not and now, an electric bike is not!!????????????
    That's totally F'd.
    Total vehicle closed/restricted area, that makes sense, it has a motor.

    too quiet perhaps, and allows you to sneak up on animals quicker and easier?

    other than that, i don't see any other justification.

    nope, has to be info from a "cell camera" , so info from a regular camera and relayed by cell phone is not the same.

    Makes sense to me....fair chase.....

    hmmmm...what happens when trucks become electric and common in the forest????
    Yes, they are quiet, but so is a peddle bike (well, if you take care of it)

    Motorized vehicle closed area, all fine by me.
    But, an area where a truck is permitted, just not ATV, makes no sense.

    Great point - I was thinking the exact same thing last time I was out. Are they going to ban Electric trucks too?

    And another thing I was realizing, is these trucks will be so quiet that while hunting, we hunters who hunt the timber won't be able to hear/know if/where other hunters (road hunters are) either. Sometimes I like knowing if there's other hunters and/or where they are in the general area I'm hunting
