Is it legal??
Hey, I was wondering if any of you know if it is legal to put trail cameras out on public hunting land. I live in MN so it would be great to also hear what the rules are in other states.
Thanks
Thanks

Totally legal in Michigan but very risky these days. Lots of thieves. My father in law had to stop using treestands because for the last 8 years in a row he had one stolen. I would love to catch the dirt bags who do that stuff.

Ya i do know here in MN that you cant leave stands over night. I know there are also locks specially made that you can put your camera in, but i dont have one so i also am worried it willmget stole along with pics i get. Then that will give my secret away.

dont think states care about the pics,
states where its illegal is because they dont allow equipment to be left unattended, except for label traps of course,
equipment such as bilnds/stands. and cams usually fall under that equipment list.
and many states havent updated their regs to accomodate for cams,
as cams become more common maybe more states will start making exceptions for cams,
