Trail Cameras illegal in Montana

[Ky Bob]

Can you believe a state would ban trailcams?? Not sure what they mean by Commission Adopted Hunting Season????

According to the 2010 regulations, it`s illegal to use trail cams during hunting season!!!!

It`s on page 10 of this link. It`s a large pdf file so it might take some time to load.

Wow, that sucks. I really figured it might happen somewhere.

I can't think of any valid reason why a camera in the woods would be banned??????

Is this for real?

[Ky Bob]

I hope not. I just happen to find the link and thought I'd post it. I can't think of any valid reason to ban trail cams period.

Does Montana even have trees to mount cameras, or are they just taped to the fences.

Montana is one of the last states I thought that would ban trail cams.
