Default Telecommunications Used For Hunting

OK.... Here we are in the 21st century. All kinds of technology has been and continues to be developed to make it easier to kill that big buck. So, what do you all think of Walkie Talkies, Cell Phones, etc. being used in the pursuit of game animals? Evidently it is legal in some states, not in others.

I can understand having walkie talkies, cell phones, etc. being used for safety reasons........like if someone gets lost, their truck breaks down, etc. I can also understand the use of these devices when a deer is on the ground and a hunter is requesting help in dragging it out. What I'm referring to is the actual use of telemcommunications to help kill a buck. Example: You are doing a small drive and one of the drivers jumps a buck and immediately calls one of the standers and tells him/her where the buck is headed. Example 2: Two hunters are hunting out west and spot a big buck high up on a ridge. Hunter #1 keeps an eye on the buck while hunter #2 tries a stalk. If the buck moves, Hunter #1 radios hunter #2 and tells him which direction the buck has moved to.

This type of thing is happening more and more. My son has walkie talkies and he said you can't believe some of the conversations he has heard.... It's illegal here, but very hard to enforce.

My two cents worth: If I have to resort to things like this to kill a buck, it's time to take up bowling.....
