Maybe that should be a warning bell?
When the average hunter can go and place trail cameras all through his hunting area and have his phone ding when something is passing bye.
Head in on a trail way into a area with his ATV and set up on his selected animal and wait.
That is about as probably the most effective way to scout a area, wouldn't you say?
Yes the game may change their patterns and spoil their success, but that a hell of allot more efficient than my way of hunting.
I have heard the statement that a hunter needs to hunt harder because the game is smarter and all sorts other reasons.
End Result= more days less harvest.
Their was a group in the Okanagan that were set up in the sloughs taking months worth of photos of moose. Looking for immatures.
Opening week they shot three in the group and others were pissed claiming that they shot their moose. That group had cameras set
up also and apparently had claim to them.
Fast forward two years later all involved got skunked.
Starting to get the picture?
Bownut......I struggle trying to digest some of your comments let alone the logic.
Furthermore, your obsession on the crumbs rather than the cake is head scratching.
Understand this.....IF THE MAJORITY OF ALL HUNTING (REGULATED) WERE TO BE SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY IT WOULD HAVE VERY LITTLE EFFECT, IF ANY, ON WILDLFE HEALTH AND NUMBERS GOING FORWARD.
I am an obsessive trophy hunter (I love big shit and will chew down every ounce of meat with pride and respect for the animal I killed and why)
It never gets in the way of my greater understanding of what the challenges are facing the future of wildlife.
Why and how I hunt does not interfere with that reality.
Regulation could give me more opportunity on age, not numbers.
