Be careful using radio's for hunting in Ohio; it's illegal...

Here is the excerpt from the regulations which can be read at this link. http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/wildlife/dow/regulations/hunting_general.aspx

"It shall be unlawful to use any device capable of transmitting or receiving a person’s voice to aid in the hunting or taking of deer".
Well I didn't know that.The radio is built into the GPS. Never would have considered that something to be used to aid in the taking of a deer when bowhunting from a tree. Heck, is there anyone these days that doesn't carry a cell phone with them when they go hunting? That would be the same deal. Who would have thought a state that allows XBow hunting would be against a radio to communicate... or a cell phone to call for help? A state that allows you to carry a handgun while bowhunting won't let you call home or call for help? You can't shoot a deer with the firearm, but you can carry it. That seems dumb. I see the thing as a safety item. The GPS updates your partners location if he keys the set. They're against the law but they allow them to be sold in the state. Check out the choices at Bass Pro Shop in Cinncinatti. I'm wondering if you're NOT using it to aid in taking a deer counts?[&:]

When You get to be 65 and over you start to think about things like, "if I have a heart attack or if I break something...how do I get help"?
