Why P&Y does not allow cameras that send pictures to home or phone.........
Joe has cameras that send photos to his phone, Joe is hunting a stand on his farm and phone gets a photo of a buck on another part of the farm. Joe climbs down and moves to another stand in the direction the buck is traveling. With out the camera Joe would not have known the buck was in that area or travel direction THAT DAY. He took advantage of the electronic device.
Same as Alaska's rule on not flying and hunting the same day. Several States have rules onelectronic communications and locating game by motor vehicles. What whizzes people off it seems are orginizations that set "ethics"......
So based on your example, would you feel it would be unethical for "joe" to receive a pic from another camera on his farm and use that data to intercept and kill that deer the same day, regardless of whether he could/would want to enter the deer in P&Y or only if it's against the organization's rules?
Personally, I think they (cameras) can provide an unfair advantage to hunters when used during the season. I feel this is especially true of the newer cameras that notify hunters in real time. As in your example, it could help hunters kill deer they likely otherwise wouldn't have seen that day.
