Best because now we are getting bigger deer. People are letting deer go because they know what's in the area. They've also seen what happens to deer if you let them mature. Before, people saw a deer, they shot.


Absolutely

Right on! Most of these chumps wouldnt hunt without compound bows, sights and releases, scopes and the latest greatest cartridge, trail cameras and climbing stands, expandable broadheads and pre-sharpened knife blades. Hide

Come on dude, you mean using dogs takes skill? Thats beyond hilarious!!

I think even dog runners knows there’s zero skill in running dogs besides feeding their stinky asses all summer long. lol

Just to be clear I have no problem with dog hunters on private lands.

Market hunting was a prevalent thing a long, long, long time ago. Sure, there were starving people hunting to survive on the frontiers but I bet it was largely supplemental or sporting east of the Mississippi a really damn long time ago.
one of my great grandfather's was a market hunter just before the 1920s east of ms river.

I love me some cameras and cell cameras sure helped make it easier. I keep a pretty detailed hunting journal. On the last weekend of the 22/23 hunting season I was helping a friend fill some doe tags, sitting in stand I pulled the journal out and read through it. What I noticed is that, I did not hunt as much because I did not see something on camera I wanted to kill. I would just keep looking for better areas, or just stayed home. I was letting the camera enjoy the outdoors while I was watching my phone. I made a promise to back off and the following year I used half as many cameras and this year i did not use any. For ME it sure made it nice to go back to the surprise of whatever shows up and just enjoying the hunt and not the technology. And yes this is mostly on public land. I am not saying I would never use them again, but I refuse to let them ruin the reason I hunt, and that is to enjoy the outdoors and detach from technology for a little bit.

I have my personal opinions about fair chase and cell cameras on private lands where I can sit in the camp and drink beer and get a text showing a buck or gobbler in my food plot and I slip out the back of the camp and shoot it but that’s another story

As far as on public land, it’s as simple as personal property left unattended. Same as leaving a stand, a sack of decoys, etc out

And people use them to secure a spot. There are some good people in this world that would move on if you are hunting near their trail cam but think of the average public land deer hunter and think of that same hunter and what lengths he will go to in order to get that 115” 8 point he got on camera at midnight a month ago

If his camera is close, He is gonna climb that tree whether you are close or not
