[QUOTE="MS_Strut, post: 5821373, member: 22863"] "So has it ever occurred to you how A FEW guys might react if they had pics sent to their phone of some guy hunting "their spot"? And does it really matter if the guy hunting over their cell cam noticed it or not?" It has occured to me but it's not theirs to claim so they are not granted that luxury or authority with just a camera being there. The person who gets there first is there first so whether a game camera is there or not should not hold precedent for anything. A stand being there would be a bit more of a deterrent for me but I don't agree that it should be allowed to stay for over 24 hours if they are going to bend the rules and give permission for that. Are cameras intended to hold a spot? A camera isn't holding a spot for anyone IMO. Where a blind/stand is clearly intended to hold the spot. But if it's there the entire season and it's in a spot I want to hunt I would respect it for a few hunts and then hunt the spot as I please after a few visits of having to turn back. I would also reach out to a game warden via email mentioning that just to have it documented. I have emails from a WMA manager stating I can leave a stand or camera on a property as long as I want if I am willing to risk it walking off. I wasn't asking him for permission to do this, he just had it in his response to a different question I had about a WMA. Maybe I missed your question. I'm not disagreeing with anything you've said. But their personal problems with a camera taking a picture of them shouldn't have any priority over where I am allowed to hunt. I pay the same fees and taxes to hunt public land as they do.
