[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 313404, member: 983"] In some ways technology in fishing can be compared to shooting long range. You have to know your equipment, practice with it, and then be able to execute to use the high end electronics. And to make a long range rifle shot. I personally have no issue with a guy who can shoot a deer at 1000 yards proficiently. I have no desire (or skill) to do it, but if he does it right and makes kill shots, more power to you. Fancy guns, high end fishing rods, etc. are all technological improvements that help us. But I drift more towards the things that can give us an unfair advantage. I do see that B & C and P & Y do not allow this as stated by BFishn. I'm not here to judge anyone or say what "should" be done. I just think it is a good discussion to have. Here's a good example from this article- [url]https://www.themeateater.com/hunt/whitetail-deer/ask-wired-to-hunt-are-wireless-trail-cameras-fair-chase[/url] [COLOR=#231F20][FONT=Roboto][SIZE=3][FONT=arial]Imagine this scenario.
