If I am on public land and come across a trailcam that is not locked up, I will read the sd card with my picture viewer and then put the sd card back and make sure the cam is on. Just ran into one the other day. It is unattended out in the woods. Why not look at the pictures .

By that theory then an unattended quad is litter. I should keep it then.

There's no question who owns it if law enforcement came, If law enforcement came over a tree stand, Or camera, How are you going to prove its yours. Because you say so?
Didn't we just have this same discussion about "What If I came up on someone sitting in my tree-stand". If I recall correctly once Its left unattended on public land. Its considered public property. So someone could very much get into your stand and hunt it and you really cant do anything about it, Sure a vehicle left unattended unlocked - that's a different story. Its registered to an owner in a state/nationwide DMV database, Is your tree stand? Is your ground blind? Is your camera? Naw. Trash and or public property. So unless you lock your camera and it has to be "broken into" I don't think there's any harm being done. If someone checks out your card, and places it back to the way they found it, You should be grateful they didnt just 1. Steal your card, 2. Steal your camera, 3. Bash your camera into 1000's of little pieces just for a laugh...
