rbrowntxbest invention ever
Just got back from an elk hunt with 4 others, and we all bought the Garmin GPS Radios Rino 120&130's. Every one knew where the other was, and we were always in touch.

WinkI remember reading somewhere (I think it pertains to France but maybe it was an African country) that hunting with radio communication capability was illegal in that jurisdiction. What are US rules on that subject?

ROSCOEWink,
In most states the use of radios is allowed but you can not use them to aid in the hunting. So, you can be hunting and ask your buddy where the hell he is located, but you cant tell him that there is a bug bull bedded down 300 yards in front of him! In Colorado many fish and game wardens monitor the radio waves and will write tickets if they catch you breaking the law.

We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!

Surely some kind of 'code' could overcome that?
