A raging debate in New Hampshire has put the spotlight on game camera technology amid concerns about privacy and hunter's rights.
If a New Hampshire property owner doesn’t specifically post their property to forbid hunting, hunters can enter the property to place hunting aids, including blinds and game cameras, so long as the hunter doesn’t damage property or trees.
Senate Bill 14, which was passed by the New Hampshire State Senate and will be up for a vote in the House later this week, would require a person to receive written permission from a landowner before mounting a game camera. The law would also require the camera to have the owner’s name and contact information visible on the device., the state’s Fish and Game Colonel Kevin Jordan testified earlier this year that game cameras are the number one complaint he receives.
A similar bill failed in New Hampshire’s state legislature last year, and it’s unclear if this new bill will face a similar fate. While the House Fish and Game and Marine Resources Committee recommended passing the bill by a 10-9 vote last week, the bill has numerous detractors.
