STOLEN GAME CAM-Skookumchuck

[hunterrcc]

second that I lost one camera in an area that no one should be during modern on private ground.  And my buddy lost 2 cameras over late buck to hunters in walk in areas also in just a few days of being out.  Warning to those that find the need to steal cameras be careful whos cameras you steal because I might have pictures of you from the other camera!!!

here is a good booby trap, a heavily springed bow stick with some good sharp sticks about nut high, that would fix them, or if you dont want bodily damage then a few flash bangs and a small piece of debt chord sunk in a small can of red paint, when that puppy goes off he will think he has been blown to you know what, i would still rather cause some serious bodily damage though

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

Higher % of archery hunters are felons....................just sayin'......

Dont forget about the Mushroom pickers, I have been seeing more and more over the years , brush pickers also. Just because a camera gets stolen doesnt mean its another hunter. I came out of the woods about an hour and a half after dark only to have a rig pull up with buckets and headlamps on.

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.

Thats why I am gonna park at your house when I am down there

Buddy of mine owns a subway in eastern wa and loves to hunt. He had one of those cams that sends the pics to your cell phone. He was at work when he got a great pic of the guys face, then the woods, and finally the inside of his truck. He blew up the pics and plastered them all over town to try to catch the guy.

 So far no success.

I dont have cameras but I always figured I would get two.  Using one hidden to only take pics of the other camera so I could turn the pics into the sheriff!

The only thing I ever do when I come across a game cam, is take a few "Glamour shots"   but only for humor sake. Nothing frustrates me more than the thought of somebody stealing a game camera, you can't get anymore low than that. next time, set up a crappy dummy cam with a well hidden cam monitoring it. JUSTICE.

The area used to be prety peaceful... but that was 10+ years ago. It seems like every year it gets worse and worse. From the thefts to the garbage and just sketchy people hanging around.

Ya its been getting worse.  Last year I hiked up a old gated road and there was a womans purse and bag with clothes etc. that had been rumaged thru.  It was scattered all over.  I looked but didnt find any identifying info just lots of makeup and such.  Most likely stolen out of a car or something. Had a stand setup few years ago and noticed tweakers heading back into woods on same trail I had used, for what I dunno and didnt want to find out.

Which gate because the gate heading in to where my camera was had a bunch of make up scattered around and it wasn't recent

Not to mention the 2 murders and 2 suicides up there.
