[QUOTE="scn, post: 5605804, member: 1859"] I agree with you that "regular" trail cams are a hit and miss deal that likely doesn't change things very much. However, the cell cameras are a different animal. They absolutely change the game in the users favor. While getting a picture of an animal and immediately leading to a successful hunt is rare, we have had at least a couple of folks on this site describe that very thing happening this past season. And, while it wasn't phoned pictures and immediate kills, I can think of three bucks from the lease I hunt that most likely met their demise due to cell cams the past couple of seasons. I don't begrudge any of the three because they were taken by persons that go above and beyond with their help and support on said lease. They deserved all three of them. But, to say that modern technology didn't REALLY help, IMO, just wouldn't be true. All of us use technology to some degree in our hunting, whether it is improved clothing, great scopes, etc. We definitely aren't in loin cloths shooting a rock on the end of an arrow. But, like a lot of folks, there are "comfort levels" in using some of the technology we currently have access to. Cell cams to me are approaching the livescope stuff in fishing. I am certainly not wanting either banned, but, both are a step across the ethical line for me. [/QUOTE]
