Poll: Have you stolen a trail camera

[bobcat]

OK, All the stories I hear of trail cameras being stolen, has got me wondering WHO is stealing all these cameras? I had one stolen, last January, it was cold and snow on the ground so I know a bear wasn't the culprit.

It seems with over 10,000 people on this site, odds would say that out of that many people we must have at least a few trail cam thieves among us.

So everyone who reads this, please answer the poll, yes or no. This is totally anonymous, nobody is going to know who answered yes.

Thanks.

I have never came across another persons camera out in the woods. I have had two stolen and one damaged beyond repair. The one that was damaged, after I ran across a shady guy in the same area this year, I'm wondering if I was getting dangerously close to a grow operation.

Mine was stolen this year right off a apple tree in the training areas of ft lewis i knew the spot was bad and it was only soposed to soak for a day or two but i got sent to califorinia for a month came back and my camera was gone

[Dhoey07]

I've never seen another person's cam

[Heredoggydoggy]

No.  I modified an old electrical disconnect box for a theft-proof camera box.  But with the recent crappy performance and battery life of my camera, I'm tempted to shoot it myself!

[big J]

yes. off my property. i left a note but they never called so i guess i stole it.

Maybe I should add another answer to the poll:

"No, but I would if given the opportunity."


Come to think of it, the only camera I have come across was locked up with a heavy duty cable, and not only that but it was in the bottom of a canyon where nobody in their right mind would go.

[grundy53]

No. I never will either.

[Heredoggydoggy]

where nobody in their right mind would go.

I think that's the best insurance for not getting your camera screwed with.  I got one picture of a hunter walking past my camera on the game trail, and I don't think he saw the camera.

I have only ever seen 1 other person's camera, and it was on private property...I didn't touch it, but there should be some funny pictures on it

I went to full draw on one and walked out around in front of it. Ran into the guy who owned it and we had a good laugh!    And i did not shoot it!!! Incase  someone is wondering.

Really? Why?

[woodman]

I have had one stolen, but have never taken one.

The closest that I have to that is I was taking a leak in the woods and noticed that there was a trail cam pointed at me, so I borrowed the card for the evening. I erased my peeing picture off of it and put a picture of a huge buck on it along with a bigfoot picture and a couple of African animals on it. I put the card back in his camera the following morning. I never disturbed any other pictures on his card. I hope the guy had a sense of humor. I was thinking that it might show up here.
