Now it says this:
• Using a pit, fire, laser sight, electronically-enhanced
night vision, any forward looking infrared device, any
device that has been airborne, controlled remotely and
used to spot or locate game with the use of a camera or
video device, radio communication, cellular or satellite
telephone, artificial salt lick, explosive, expanding gas
arrow, bomb, smoke, deer urine, elk urine, or chemicals
(excluding scent lures), EXCEPT:
-- Scent lures (without deer or elk urine) may be used for
ungulates, and for bears ONLY under a black bear baiting
permit.
-- Rangefinders may be used.
-- Electronic calls may be used for all game animals except
moose.
-- Communications equipment may be used for safety; they
may not be used to aid in taking of game.
-- In the Unit 20D bison hunt, the use of ground-based radio
communications, including cellular or satellite phones, to
locate bison is allowed.
