***Some states will not allow them to be used for ethical reasons because some use them to tell others where an animal has been located or where it's moving, and that's considered an unfair advantage. It's similar to not being able to hunt the same day you fly in some jurisdictions. Personally I agree with the restrictions. I also know that it's abused with radios that have a huge number of sub channels where it would be hard for the G&F to monitor their use like it would be with only a few channels.
