PHOENIX â Arizona is moving to ban the use of trail cameras to take video or photos to aid hunting, with regulators saying the widespread practice runs counter to a doctrine that prey animals should have a chance to get away and that hunters shouldnât rely on their skills, not technology.
The state Game and Fish Commission unanimously approved the ban during a June 11 meeting in Payson and plans to start implementing it as early as next January. Achieving the Jan. 1 target date depends on education and training, commission Chairman Kurt Davis told the Arizona Republic.
Under the prohibition, cameras could no longer be placed at or near watering holes and other locations to help hunters by locating wildlife. The cameras are often triggered by motion and store pictures or videos to be viewed later.

The Arizona Game and Fish Department Commission held a meeting at Paysonâs Quality Inn on Friday, Dec. 4.
Three of the five commissioners, including Paysonâs James Goughnour, attended in person, while two others took part via conference call.
âThe Department and Commission worked overtime to ensure all state, local and CDC COVID-19 distancing requirements were met during all phases of the meeting,â Goughnour said.
Although area residents werenât able to attend the meeting in person as they normally would, they were able to participate.
âThe Department received a special thank you from the Commission for their efforts to execute the meeting and a special comment was made for the exceptional electronic communications of the meeting so the public could access the meeting and speak directly to the Commission via video links or telephone on several topics,â Goughnour said.
