trail cam snoop?

[jackelope]

I like to get all naked, tie a rope around my junk and drag a boat anchor through the trail cameras with nothing but my 'nads

Hey, you're not the only one.  Different strokes for different folks, right!!??!!??

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 .

Why not?
Besides the fact that it is not yours, you could be screwing the tcam owner.
Some trail cams won't work well with a card that has been viewed by a camera and not formatted.

Licensing trail cams sounds like a great idea, all of a sudden they become registered private property, with there own unique number and license then you can call somebody when they disappear.

Easy. Not yours. Smile and keep walking.

Or photo bomb it.

Wait a minute H20.  I believe that you have been known to take off your shirt and strike poses in front of a trail cam.  You do a little more than smile and keep walking my friend...

All of my trail cams have a serial number and all are registered with my warranty cards and my home owners insurance. So they are registered private property. I have my cameras out almost year round and I know that one day one will get stolen. I expect others to leave my stuff alone but I understand that in this world that I can expect to be disappointed in others.

 Licensing trail cameras is a terrible idea. I don't need anymore government regulations in my life.

If I see a TCam on public property. I'll smile, maybe give a thumbs up, and move on. Don't mess with it.
 Just like if I was hunting on public land. Walk out in the dark, to my spot. If I see someone else has beat me to it. I slowly walk out and drive down to another spot before sunrise.  I don't sit down next to the guy and whisper good luck. 
 Its courtesy, & sportsmanship.

While out bear hunting recently I ran into a logger marking trees & he was very adamant about trail cams, blinds & such being litter in his opinion, & if on public land would "take it down" especially if area will be logged out anytime soon...

I have seen a few cams and give a wave or an oh $#!+ look, & if I'm caught by ya in "your spot" on public land too bad, does the guy who leaves rope at green river get first jump only the first day then it's 1st come, pack it out...

It is interesting that the logger said that in his opinion cameras, blinds and such are concedered litter and he would take them down if he found them on public land. In my opinion when loggers mark their cut boundaries with miles of colored ribbon, paper signs and paint is litter, so using his logic does that mean if it is on public land can I take their markings down; especially if I'm going to hunt the area soon?

I never thought about registering my cameras with my home owners insurance. guess I better get started.

its just his way of rationalizing being a thief.  i see nice cars and such on public land all the time, with no owner nearby.  does that make the cars litter?  if hes out logging and you take all his gear out of his truck, which is parked on public land, arent you just picking up abandoned litter by his way of viewing things?

That is kind of what I was thinking.
