Sounds crazy to me but I figured i would ask.

Just read this on mossback.com you should see the elk on the video. Here is my question. If you want to see it for yourself go to mossback.com and then click on Schedule a hunt scroll down below the price block and you will see it.

"A new law also prohibits the selling of any video footage from Forest Service, BLM and State Lands. Anyone who produces a video to sell or is compensated for selling one second or more of video footage without a permit is breaking the law. Permits are required for every different National forest or BLM area you will be filming in. They will be watching any videos produced and handing out some heavy fines. You must obtain a film permit from Forest Service and the BLM. A $1 Million dollar insurance policy is required (which runs about $2,000 a year). This policy is nationwide for TV & video." mossback.com site

Do any of you know if this is true or not? I have never heard anything on this subject. If it is true it will affect a lot of people including myself.

I know in missouri you aren't suppose to sell any video filmed on state land. You can't guide on state land either. I didn't know it was a nationwide law. I kindof wonder what the purpose of the law is. I doubt the lands are overcrowded with cameramen. The way I see it is if someone finds a way to make some money on lands that they are paying for anyway, why not? Just as long as they are not harming the habitat and wildlife. I would also expect the people making money off the land to give back just as much or more than they received from the land.
