I can understand if your cameras are on private land if they are on public land it's chance we all take I dont want to walk in front of someone else's camera and have that person know where I'm hunting so I guess I could understand if that's why they would tAke it or the sd card  I went to one of my cameras and there was a note on it and it said " sorry but I took your sd card like my privacy and don't want you or anyone else to know where I'm hunting have a good day "

Nice, but was the note written on $20?

 :yeah:

If the guy left money it would help with the pain of the card being taken.  But in addition to the cost of the card, the camera owner just lost the whole reason why he placed the cam there in the first place.  He lost all the valuable pic info.  Camera thieves suck, but so do card thieves...........just not quite as much as camera thieves.
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

Probably 3-5 pounds I'd guess. I carry 2 camera/box setups and a 50 pound bag of salt, hardware to mount and tools(ratchet, extension and socket or cordless impact driver) a couple miles for some of my cameras. Pack weighs in around 85 pounds. It sucks to carry  but I'd rather carry all that and not get them stolen than have some jackwagon steal my stuff I worked hard for. When you consider the weight of the boxes vs. the weight of cables, dye packs, flash bang grenades, all the other ideas, there's probably no difference. I'll weigh one later on and post.

So you are lag bolting your camera to the tree?  These are forestry company owned trees right?  Do you not see a problem with that?

Nope. No forestry companies involved in anything where my cameras are. Not sure where you got that idea from.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
