Montana has prohibited hunting using game cameras that transmit images. And the rules of the venerable Boone & Crockett club state that animals taken with the aid of cameras that transmit images are not eligible for entry into their scoring system. Maine law places outer limits on hunting technology, including a prohibition on most remote control counting and a ban on the use of drones. We hunters and anglers have enough opposition from the rest of the world that we don’t need to tee up issues for the “antis” to swing at. However, decisions such as these by Montana and the Boone & Crockett club should give us pause as we race headlong into the world of ever-evolving technology.
