Deer hunting thieves!!!
« on: October 14, 2012, 09:55:16 PM »
My brother and I were camped at the pioneer park in Dayton  last night and  woke up this morning to find that our coolers had been stolen from the back of our truck!  There's nothing that can be done about it but I felt that I had reason to vent about it.   I'm sure that they ran out of beer and figured they would just take mine,  well the jokes on them because we don't drink beer!   I hope these a-holes Enjoyed my water bottles, off brand diet soda, and peanut butter and jelly!  It's people like this that give sportsmen a bad name,  and make it harder for the rest of us to get access to private property.   Also these idiots didn't even notice my spotting scope that I had forgotten in the bed of the truck.   Oh we'll at least they didn't  take the deer that was in there, that would have ruined hunting for my nephew for ever, and i am sure karma will come back around.
I don't always shoot big mule deer, but when I do, it's with a bow tech!

Man that really sucks.  I am always paranoid about this.  It's amazing how people will turn when they are away from eyes to keep them honest.

Tough break, sorry to hear of anyone getting ripped off by low-lifes. So many people have lost their sense of personal integrity. I hope that if I catch someone in the act of ripping me off they won't be too surprised that for the times it takes to meet out justice to them, when I have a pause in my personal integrity.     :violent1:

I bet it was underage kids as stated.  That stinks.   I hope your nephew had a great time regardless.

When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter

We were warned when staying at a State park a couple years ago to not leave our cooler out as kids were swiping them hoping for beers.  Seems easier to look inside and just grab the six pack or box in there than take the whole cooler though.  Glad to hear they left the rest of your stuff.

I have had this happen before, and found that several other camps were visited by the thieves the same night.  Based on what they targeted they were probably drunk teens.  I still leave a crummy cooler in the bed of my truck, but know that it is likely to be stolen some day.

Worst part is, they probably just tossed everything in the bushes. Just like a typical thief when they realize there is nothing notable in whatever they steal. Ruining habitat and making the whole situation just useless for them, and aggravating for us normal people. :bash:

Sounds like it's time to take a dump in a cooler and leave it out for them.

Getting ripped off sucks, but   My nephew did shoot his first deer.  And regardless of what these low life's stole from us. We still had a great trip that will provide hunting stories for a Long time.  And it gave me yet another reason to hunt archery every single year, and for every animal
I don't always shoot big mule deer, but when I do, it's with a bow tech!
