Don't know of any in Tennessee but my curiosity has me searching the regulations.

 

I think the general Tennessee rule for WMAs is "no personal property left unattended for more than 24 hours without permission of that WMA manager." This is very similar to the interpretation in Iowa that blew up this summer before the Iowa DNR reversed their interpretation.

It's also my understanding that essentially all WMA managers have general auto-approvals for tree stand and trail cams. Be curious if you hear differently.

 

Use them 24/7/365 here in WA. No restrictions.

 

Arizona banned game cameras for hunting purposes. Used to see tons of them on public land, much less often now. Especially the cellular instant tracking models...

 

Minnesota- Trail cameras are not allowed to be left overnight on WMAs. Technically you could put one up but would have to remove it by the end of the day.

State forest lands they are allowed but are considered abandoned after 14 days. There’s some gray area on what they consider “checking in on it” means. Do you ever so slightly tilt the camera to show you were there to check it?

 

What if you have one that has information through your cell phone? Does checking your phone each day count? A very "gray" area.

 

ohio here no rules or regulations on cameras or baiting. ruining the sport

 

WI, can be left out on state land but needs to have your name and address or DNR number on it. Which of course none ever have.

Hope they move towards banning them as they have in your state. There are way too many out there nowadays. You can’t leave stands out in Southern WI so i don’t see why you can litter the woods with 12 trail cams?

 

In Indiana you can use sd card trail cameras or cellular on private and public ground. With that being said I’ve also heard they were going to ban them on state ground , which would be true because in the after season survey I received last year there were a few questions regarding trail cam use on public land.

 

I have no problem doing it. I guess I'm not camera shy

 

In Utah cannot use trail cameras from August 1 to December 31 each year

 

no restrictions on public land in Virginia.

 

NY, fine on private property…..no go on public unless you’re part of a program that allows them.

 

No rules

 

Your neighbor from Missouri here. No use of trail cams on public land here either. Of course you will see them if you go to certain spots… looking at you, Smithville.
