Does walking out of Cabelas with 4 in my pocket count? Just kidding.
my thought exactly when I read the thread title  :chuckle:
Romans 14:2 he who eats only vegetables is weak
Genesis 27:3 Now then, get your equipment—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me

I think a poll should be started for if you have had a camera stolen from you
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Hunterman(Tony), What do you mean by 'checked your zero on a few'...? I hope you're not that kind of guy... that's no bueno... public or private, that's still not cool...

I've had my pic taken by several over the years. I would never touch, mess with, move, damage, or destroy someone else's camera on public lands. If encountered on your private property, removing and leaving a note seems appropriate, follow up with local LEO's if you wish, but to destroy... not cool...

I don't advocate tresspassing, but say your car breaks down and you leave it in a pull out alongside the road... maybe that pull out happens to be private property... you might expect your vehicle be ticketed and towed to a local impound... but crushed and left for you to collect... you'd be pissed and likely win your claim...

With almost no one admitting to taking game cameras, makes me wonder if a lot of cams are stolen by PETA type people........ :dunno:
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

Have no need to steal any. Back when the camera builds were going on I built a dozen of them not counting my production ones.

It would be funny if It already had pics on it and the chain it came with was obviously cut. :o :chuckle:

A buddy has his taken by a USFS seasonal employee. They thinned an area and the tree his camera had been on was cut. He went to the USFS office and asked the District Ranger about his camera. A week later he got a call and the camera back. The USFS seasonal employee gave him a hard time and told him it had been illegally placed... which it hadn't. He got the camera back, but the SD card was gone... That's pretty much the only recovered camera I've ever heard of.

I've never seen one. Would never take one.  Its to thick in the woods where I live.  I found a fishing pole on the middle of the rode a few days ago.  Looks like it belonged to a kid.  Maybe I can figure out whose it is. I'd rather give it back and make someones day than keep it.
