From what I understand they are perfectly legal, but you can not use

them to give away games position. They are only to be used in

communication of people, meeting up, your position, etc. Babe Winkelman
and his wife Kristeen were sited by Minnesota Conservation Officers for

using them to give off a deers position. He had to pay a fine and give a

public I'm sorry. The game wardens monitor these radio's believe it or

not. Field and Stream had aarticle on this last year after the incident.

They had interviews with severalgame wardens and they have to keep up
with techinology too.I use them all the time, but not to give off game

locations. They are great for all kinds of outdoor activities. I let my kids

use them when we hunt, it gives them a feeling of independence, but

keeps them as close as the PTT ( Push To Talk ) button.
