Help Support TNDeer:
The ban of…
- Thread starter BDS05
- Start date
Young man is a bit of a stretch at 50. And this is the same Spook Spann who was convicted of poaching and of violating the Lacey act. Yeah, he has served his time in the penalty box, but I'm not a fan of his. I haven't decided if he's gonna be a redemption story and has learned his lesson, or if he's figured out how to hide his indiscretions better. Thankfully that isn't my position to decide for anyone other than myself. Think I'll just stay off the celebrity band wagon and just do my own thing and try to teach my grandchildren by example and though spending time with them.

Ok gotta say something here. I own 18 trail cameras. They mean as much to me as my guns, so ban them and you'll pry them out of my cold dead hands! They provide first class entertainment almost year around. I'd rather be looking through trail cam pics than watching stupid TV.
Nope but you can reach areas you likely wouldn't on foot. Everything we buy is an advantage. In the early years some fella sharpened a stick to make it pierce the game better. That was an advantage. Don't be naive.
I'm not
Now you're just being oblivious. Seems to be your nature in several threads. I realize now you didn't actually want a discussion, just to stir the pot. I'll get back to wasting my time in other ways. Have a pleasant evening.
A sharp arrow does no good if I don't do my part and make the shot. A four wheeler does no good going further if I don't drive the right direction. A camera does no good if I don't put batteries in it? It otherwise gives me EXACT time stamps that I'll use to pinpoint an animal and location.
Oblivious? All I've done is share what is happening around us. Thats neither being naive nor oblivious.

Lol.. No I'm definitely not a millennial. And I don't even own a camera. But if I decided to run em, I'm dang sure gonna. It had been a long time since I've posted on here, I forgot how that normal goes.
Where exactly do you see that? Nobody said you think cameras should be banned. I clearly asked the questions of your motive for posting that link. That's not putting words in your mouth. Quite opposite. It's asking your point of view.
You can see anything you want to see anywhere you want to see it. But if you drop the emotion and read what I wrote again, it should be clear that what you're accusing me of isn't there. These emotionally driven responses are precisely why I called this a troll thread. Once you trigger emotion, you may as well have horse blinders on. There's no way to discuss a topic out to fruition once it reaches that point.
I have no idea who he is, celebrity or not. I saw the pic posted and he appeared to be a young guy. Given his own words in the attachment it appears that specific deer wasn't poached, so my opinion doesn't change. I can give the credit for doing something well even if most of the time he doesn't. By your post it appears folks seem to know who he is and are emotionally invested, consider him a bad guy. I am not privy to any of that so for the sake of conversation, replace the personality in that attachment with a stranger you don't recognize, and base an opinion off of that. Perfect example of why lady Justice is blindfolded.
Or point the camera in the right direction the same as the four wheeler. If you're going to argue your point you may want to avoid the logical fallacies...

Isn't this the guy from Tennessee that used to have his own TV show, AND that got caught up in some type of hunting scandal about 4-5 years ago?

I have not, fill me in please. It seems that openly admitting to hunting deer when the season is over would be dumber than heck considering this is an open forum and could lead to severe legal conseqeuences. Do fill me in on your statement, "

Thanks Meglo. man.

Yep. Was a little longer than 4-5 years ago, but he is one and the same.

I am NOT a spook spann fan, not one bit. I am not sure he did something many others would have done when "caught" in Kansas. From what I understand, the buck he killed on video in Kansas with a bow, crossed onto adjoining land that Spook had leased from land he owned.
HIs license was for landowner only so when the buck left his land, he violated the law, even though he killed the deer on land he had leased. This may not be true at all but I trust the person who told me and why would Spook put it on a video to be sold and seen by any and everyone if he did not think he was legal in some form or he could beat it in court.
I am not advocating breaking any law just because you don't agree with it, but it he did have the land leased, and it was near the line of land owned, I wonder how many pass on the deer if the same thing happened to them?. I was told only reason anything happened is because his cameraman got upset about something else and turned him in.
I for sure do not know and really don't care because even if he wasn't guilty or if a "nitpicky" law caught him, he still deserved everything he got and more because of his past. I personally know someone who grew up with him, and from what he has told me, if true, Spook is for sure a lifelong poacher and an unethical.\ hunter The guy I know told me he would kill bucks, cut the heads off and throw the rest away. He killed them however, whenever he could and rarely did anything with the meat.

I'm still going to hunt regardless but I think the idea banning of trail cameras is stupid. They are a great tool for scouting and a lot of fun. The camera doesn't kill the deer.
Cameras are no different than a farmer that lets you hunt his farm and tells you that a big buck is coming out beside his old barn between 7 and 8 O clock nearly every morning. You know exactly where to go to and try to kill that deer. Is bow hunting a 1 acre piece of land in the city were the deer has only about 5 to 10 acers of land to roam. If your gonna say that cell cameras is cheating need to look at the whole pic of what deer hunting has come too.
