Anyone use game cameras on WMAs?

[outdoorman]

Just got a few game cameras and am thinking of using them in a bow hunting area that gets little pressure. Are game cameras allowed ?

Yes, it's allowed. I do it a lot.

I just wouldn't put any expensive ones out there. I use them on public land, but I know all of them won't always come back home.

Good point here. I run cams on a 100k acre mountainous WMA with very few hunters per sq mile. I would think twice about running on smaller public lands near high population centers. My cams are more apt to be eaten by a curious bear than found and stolen by another hunter.

I put mine 7 to 8ft high. Haven't lost one yet. They don't seem to spook game either that high.
