Vulnerable EP 34: Trail Cam Bans, AI Buck Tracking & a One-Eyed Giant

In Episode 34, Cory, Joel, and Chris debate how quickly hunting is changing—from public-land trail-camera restrictions and fair-chase concerns to AI-powered cameras that can identify individual bucks and predict their future movements.Joel also reveals why he may get back in the tree stand to pursue a nine-and-a-half-year-old, one-eyed buck that has survived nearly a decade without ever being seen on the hoof.The guys also discuss:• Whether trail-camera bans punish the average public-land hunter• How mature bucks change after reaching four years old• Data privacy and who can access your trail-camera locations• Colorado’s push to protect hunting as a constitutional right• New rifle and buck regulations in Michigan• Ohio’s fall turkey rules and statewide harvest numbers• Why dumping huge corn piles during summer can hurt more than help• Cory’s new-dad life, Buc-ee’s, and the usual off-the-rails conversationsWhere should hunting draw the line with technology?
