This thread cracks me up   :rolleyes:  

All you guys complaining about cell phones and texting when you are all sitting in front of a much bigger phone right now texting to 22,000 other tradgangers all over the world   :readit:

Tracy, I agree with you 100%! That's what I was trying to say in my post as well. Some can codemn technology, but yet here we all are communicating via the web, and that's just fine and dandy.   "[dntthnk]"

The difference between cell phone/texting and Tradgang is I believe most of us are surfing the site from the comfort of our own homes (or while at work), not while sitting in a treestand or blind.

Plus were not sending messages to each other in relation to real-time game sightings and activity-for the most part.

And I'm not about to lug this laptop into the field so someone can PM me when something's heading my way  ;)  

This is one type of technology, cell phones/texting/videotaping are different types of technology that can perhaps have or lead to fair chase violations if used in certain ways.

Tradgang folks are much different than most when it comes to hunting and I very much doubt that any of them would use any illegal means to harvest any animals  :goldtooth:

I guess all the guys who are against videoing would be against photographing a kill too.   :rolleyes:

My goals have changed as I have matured as a hunter. I now value the experiences with my friends as highly as the kills, and when we hunt together we use our phones to stay in touch and update each other on sightings of game, heading in for lunch, etc. The ability to do this has increased our enjoyment significantly, and the safety factor has also become more important as we age. My hunting buddies are all 55-plus, and it's good to know that there's help available if we need it. Our wives are also glad that we are able to communicate from wherever we are.

On the other hand, there's a point of diminishing returns. Electronic devices hold the potential for abuse, if misused. Like everything else we deal with in our lives, some common sense is required.

Shawn,
You beat me to it.In Iowa,a hunter cannot use a "radio" or cell phone etc. as a hunting aid. (frank, here comes a buck your way,etc.)

A hunter may carry one (as I do) in case of emergencies, etc.

I'll put my .02 cents in. I take my cell phone into the woods with me. I don't text while in my treestand or while hunting, I will text others that are hunting the same general area to see if they're allright or to let them know I'm on my way out. I also texted my wife after I killed my buck to let her in on my joy!! and accomplishment

  Videoing a hunt? I think it comes from the many outdooor television shows we have now. There are whole networks devoted to nothing but hunting and fishing. I don't think it's a bad thing. I think folks are trying to emulate thier heros/peers, or are hoping to turn thier passion for hunting into a carreer. To each his own, I guess but to me hunting isn't a spectator sport
