STOLEN GAME CAM-Skookumchuck

[BowForElk]

Walked in this morning to a spot where I had a camera set off skookumchuck road(behind WeyCo Gate 82D just passed the pheasant release site) and it was gone. =[ I knew that theres the possibility of theft as its in a public access place but honestly i figured nobody would walk down into the bottom of the bowl that i put it in.(its a good 250ft straight down) Thats the last time I leave a camera out during rifle season. Its not even the monetary value of the camera or the external battery cause i can get more but i really wanted the pictures!!! Especially cause on my way in this morning there was FRESH elk shat everywhere! Anyways I just wanted to gripe a little bit. I was always raised to work hard for the things I wanted and to never take anything that wasn't mine and it just makes me steam that some people don't feel the same way but hopefully karma will find this guy soon.

Anyways thanks for listening to me b*tch and Id also like to hear how some of you theft proof their cameras.

Thanks guys!

I always lock my trail camera's up on Pubic land. Cant trust anybody these days. Here are my lock boxes for my cuddebacks that i use. Works for bears and people. I lag bolt them to the tree from the inside of the box then I lock the outside.

How much does that weigh? Lol it doesn't look backpack friendly but I do like the security. Store bought?

[Devinshoe]

The box is really light actually Considering the trail camera weighs about 4 times as much as it does. Its a tough aluminum box. It was custom made by a buddy of mine. When I pack them in i just always make sure its in the very bottom of my pack with the tabs sticking up. Doesnt bother me packing them in knowing i wont have a 230$ dollar trail cam stolen.

Just feel lucky it was only your trail cam that got stollen and not your rig or whatever is in it while you were out putting up the camera. There is alot of theft out there and alot of foot traffic, ALOT. Nothing is safe around here.

dude that is so messed up, you sure see alot of these stolen cam threads, makes me friggin sick that there is that many damn thieves out there in the woods, would be cool to catch some stealing one of those and whack his fingers off and put them in a bag for him and send him on his sorry ass way.... friggin thieves

Either that or attach the game cam to a claymore

I was gonna put my camera out on Saturday but thought twice and didnt put it out at all. Why you ask? Damn rifle hunters. That is all.

Sorry to here that, it truly sucks when someone Jacks your stuff. I had mine stolen over a year ago, I was pissed it took up until a few weeks ago to get another one and now I have it hanging in a new location, no luck yet! Good luck!

[BowForElk]

Yea I set mine up on the last day it early archery. It may be judgmental but really think had it been out the entire archery season it would still be there. Just my

oh come on now, i am a rifle hunter through and through and i am the furthest thing from a thief, i know a few jack knob friggin bow hunters that would jack stuff if they could, all in all there are to many damn thieves and they need a serious case of what the hell happened to my damn fingers when they wake up in some deep dark dank friggin swamp.....oh and i do love the claymore idea... hell yes, you can bet when i start hangn my cams they will have a booby trap attached to them....maybe if we all booby trap are stuff we will weed out the damn thieves ....i would bet that they are also the scum dirty ass scud bottom vagrants that are out there poachin to.....i dont know if you guy know yet but i hate thieves.... i really, one broke into my house and stole some pretty sentimental stuff, would love to have killed that piece of garbage.....

My uncle was parked by the trolly car taken my little cousin fishing and came back to his truck pepperd with dents and rock chip marks and windows broken out! Somebody did burnouts and trashed his truck! Its a joke up there anymore!
