Casey Snider introduced bill HB 295 to the committee on Feb. 12th, 2021. The bill passed with a 11-3 vote and is moving to the senate for further action. Now is our chance to STOP this from going any further. HB 295 puts a ban and season on trail camera usage. No one in the state of utah would be allowed to use or check trail cameras from august 1st- December 31st of every year. Private land would have NO restrictions on trail cameras. The bill also proposes very vague and unorganized methods to ban particular types of baiting in utah. Please read the bill, linked at the end of this statement, for more info. HB 295 is a direct threat to the public land hunter. Giving private land hunters more freedoms than the average joe/public land hunter can NOT be tolerated. 
Casey Snider has made this bill to be a personal, emotional issue rather than a claim supported by evidence and scientific data. There are no studies to prove that baiting and/or trail cameras hurt the deer population. In fact, archery success rates are at a record low of 13%. This bill is a direct threat to the public land hunter, the bow hunters, and future generations. California blocked bill SB 252 with 27,000 signatures. Utah let’s stand up for our hunting FREEDOMS, please sign to oppose HB295. Do not let them in to add more regulations to your hunting and public land freedoms!
