Anyone heard anymore from this? I was reading in Am Hunter last eve that they revised the wording for 2010 and, imo, it's worse than before:
It is unlawful for a person, while hunting, to possess any electronic motion-tracking device or mechanism, as defined by Commission rule that is designed to track the motion of a game animal's location or movement during any commission-adopted hunting season.
From this, in 2009:
It is unlawful for a person, while hunting, to possess any electronic motion-tracking device or mechanism, as defined by Commission rule that is designed to track the motion of a game animal and relay the information on the animal's movement to a hunter.

It is my understanding that you can use them up until season starts, just NOT "during hunting season."

Maybe I am missing something but I don't see where it said anything about banning game cameras. It said to possess a motion tracking device while hunting. I would think that would mean you could not have a remote viewer on you or a camera that sends pictures to your phone while hunting.
Don't have a remote viewer or any cellular type camera. I leave my cameras on the tree so I am not in possession of them while hunting. Therefor that law wouldn't affect me even if we did have it here.

DWM,
The new regulation is highlighted below, this should help.

wonder why?Never helped me kill one yet,I need a cam that tells me where they are gonns BE,not where they have been 
Ditto... my friends and I have all but concluded that if one of us gets a trail cam pic of a mature buck, there is a 99% guarantee the same person will not harvest him. Over the last few years I have become pretty good at capturing mature bucks on cam (more at night than day), but I rarely harvest any of these "known" bucks.

Apparently, dozens of game cameras packed around high animal traffic areas on public lands have become a concern.

Still says possess or in the field which is another way of saying while hunting. I guess that is another one of those game laws that is left for interpretation by which ever officer or judge is involved in the case.

It says illegal for a person to possess or use, I don't see much room for interpretation there.

DWM,
I've seen clarification from the Montana Game Department, and they said trail-cameras are illegal to use period.

Trail-cameras help me monitor the condition, size and make-up of my local deer herd as well as help me monitor the seasonal range-shift patterns of individual bucks. They also probably teach me things about deer behavior that make me a more successful hunter, but I can't think of a single instance where they have helped me kill a specific buck. I'm just as likely to encounter any of the bucks I've photographed at end end of my property as the other, and at one stand location as another.
Now if a hunter has the option of several different properties to hunt, I can definitely see where trail-cameras could provide an advantage. They could indicate which property has the largest bucks.

BSK,I hunt 5 well manage properties,all under 100 acreas.I run cameras on all of them.When the rut gets closer,I start getting pictures of the bucks that I got earlier in the year(right now).Once they show up I start hunting doe groups,usually I got 5 days to seal the deal.And I got pics before I shoot them.And yes I get a range shifter that I never seen before.
