[QUOTE="snowypeakoutdoors, post: 2232928, member: 109317"] I understand the regulation just fine. The regulation says you can not use it to aid in hunting. It also says you can use it to take wildlife photography even on public land. In fact, it says they have no ability to regulate cameras for those uses. The part I don't understand is how are they going to determine what the camera is being used for and what is going to stop law enforcement from just charging people and then having to go to court?(I am not even disagreeing with you on the use of camera part.) a. A number of comments state the Commission lacks the authority to regulate the use of trail cameras. Agency Response: The Department disagrees. Under A.R.S. § 17-231(A)(3), "The Commission shall establish hunting, trapping and fishing rules and prescribe the manner and methods that may be used in taking wildlife, but the Commission shall not limit or restrict the magazine capacity of any authorized firearm. The Commission, through the Department, is responsible for the lawful management of Arizona’s diverse wildlife. This is done through laws and rules that govern seasons, weapon types, lawful and unlawful methods of take, which includes devices. Trail cameras are a technological device that can be used to aid in the take of wildlife and when used for such purpose is entirely under the Commission’s authority to regulate. Trail cameras used for general wildlife viewing, research, and/or home or camp security are not affected by this rulemaking. [/QUOTE]
