Poll: Have you stolen a trail camera

[grundy53]

I can assure you it wasn't my camera. Great theory though  .

[JLS]

So I just got home and read this entire thread. (I hadn't earlier today)
Much To my surprise there are muilitible posts about people messing with cameras on here and even 2 people claiming to have stolen them??   And none of these posts rilled   Grundy 53?!
Only My post did an  he attacked instantly Leading me to believe it Was his camera I messed with?   Idk just seems awful


Edited for profanity. Read the rules!!


I even offered to meet you and show you this location of said camera. you shied away? 



TRUST?   That's funny I'm pretty sure I was 100% honest with what I did! When I did it and How!   And at the end of the day there was no harm no foul! camera was left were it was found now wasn't it

  Bottom line, I messed with an ill placed camera  It was a practical Joke at best!
I'm done talking about this and I really have to question wether or not I want to belong on a website with so many people like Grundy53
There are some great guys on here but the majority seem to be self riotous judgmental Jerks only looking for the mistakes in others and focusing on negativity. This site used to be fun and folks could come home jump on line and say Anything!  Now it's so Damn PC ya can't share a damn single thing with out a Pack of wolves ready to pounce and tear ya apart should there be One tiny little imperfection, or deference of opinion.

 And I swear to God I've Never met such a large group of perfect Angeles who have never missed, messed up, got lost, forgot they're tags, tagged an Ear or antler, gut shot, lost and animal, shot the wrong animal, shot after dark, shot over a fence, didn't notch they're tag, Had a beer in the console, trespassed, hunted high,removed plugs from gun, road hunted, used a Quad or shot under 100yrds  saw Sasquatch, shot Sasquatch!!!

It's kinda Sad

Weren't you just recently excoriating others for road hunting?

I used to use an old steel power meter box with a cable running through the back, which I would lock on the inside then lock the outside, as well as lag bolt from the box into the tree. Go figure it was my first camera stolen! Guys went in, found it, then came back with bolt cutters and cut it off the tree. Wanna know how I know that? My uncle overheard the guys at the bar bragging that they stole a camera (right where he knew mine was taken). Well he and some friends confronted the guy, and got the camera back for me. Only bad part was it was beat to hell and the memory card and batteries were gone... I was pissed until I found out several months later that the guy was arrested for poaching several elk.

It's guys like this that make me want to set big steel jaw traps right under all my cameras!!

no place for thieves in the hunting world

I just stole one tonight! Off eBay!

Got a Moultrie D55 for $45, free shipping.   

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

 i had a 55 stolen from me this year

Yes that would be funny but this one is brand new, in the package.

I've seen a few cameras... Two were right between a favorite spot for wandering BT from one food/bedding area to another.. The day we found them Dad and I made it very clear this wasn't a secret spot in a fun way... Figured the pics would've made it on here by now but no dice... If you can picture two guys.. Farther and son... Sitting in front of two different cams going back and forth arguing and pointing at the cam while smoking cigs and waving our guns around... I even took my shirt off, tied it around my head and ran by both while Dad slowly crept along with gun at the ready... Bet we killed those batteries!!       Never saw them around there again..

They were'nt mine, but that probably would have made me pick up and leave also

i like the idea of settn big traps for would be camera thieves, but i like the idea of a grenade on a trip wire so when the camera is removed it blows their arm off, it would be easy to pic out the camera thieves then  my luck though i would blow up a stud blacktail or a bear 

[Seabass]

I have only ever seen one cam in the woods. I had one stolen from me years ago. I would never steal a camera. Not because I'm awesome, I just wouldn't and I HATE thieves. Like in a way I can't even begin to describe!

I thought at one time I would check the card but don't think I would even do that now because it would do me no good. If I saw a giant animal on the camera it would only discourage me. I don't want to hunt an animal somone else is hunting if at all possible. I don't really even want to see another rig where I am hunting.

I'm sure every one of you has already thought of this but... I always thought it would be super funny to try to get a Sasquwatch fever started by making a suit and getting on a camera somewhere. Mybe not but if the pic were taken in the right area and it was just convincing enough I think it would take hold and start a buzz. Sasquwatch stuff cracks me up!

[Curly]

There was a post on here a while back where a guy took the card out of a camera that his buddy had set out and he photoshopped in a bunch of pics.  Pretty funny stuff.  You could photoshop in a bigfoot..........

[Seabass]

I might make that my life's mission.

If you are admitting to doing any/all of those... you sir are a classless, garbage, piece of trash. I hope you get caught. Is that how you hunt? And finally, how dare you shoot bigfoot!

Bobcat where did you see the cam with the security cable? Maybe just a general description. Thinking I might have a pic of you :you:
