Message: <blockquote data-quote="Traxion" data-source="post: 313404" data-attributes="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-<a href="https://www.themeateater.com/hunt/whitetail-deer/ask-wired-to-hunt-are-wireless-trail-cameras-fair-chase" target="_blank">https://www.themeateater.com/hunt/whitetail-deer/ask-wired-to-hunt-are-wireless-trail-cameras-fair-chase</a>Imagine this scenario. A chocolate-antlered, 10-point buck steps into an emerald green field of clover to feed. A hunter, sitting in his home office not far away, sees the buck emerge on his computer screen where a live-stream video feed of the food plot plays 24/7. He jumps up, grabs a gun in and sneaks out towards the clover plot.Or, what about this? It’s Nov. 15 and at 8:30 a.m. a mature buck starts working a scrape along a cut corn field. At that exact moment a notification rings on a hunter’s phone. He clicks the notification and up pops a photo of this buck, standing in front of a scrape that he knows is only 200 yards away. He climbs down out of his ladder stand and begins to stalk towards the scrape location.Does any of this make you uncomfortable?What if that last scenario played out exactly the same, except the photo wasn’t sent until that night, and the hunter couldn’t act on it until the next day. Would that make you feel any differently?- - - Updated - - -I don't know much about them, but your tournament comment makes me think about "one fly" contests.  Seems like a fun idea that puts fisherman against fisherman, and the fish.</blockquote>
