Low-life steals salt!!!

[Whiskers88]

What is wrong with people? Went to check my camera this weekend and got pictures of this POS walking off with my salt and corn block. At least he didnt steal my camera too, but the dumb a$$ probably didnt see it right in front of his face.   

[KFhunter]

at least he didn't pee on your spot after he took the salt,  had that happen 


He obviously has a spot close by and figures you're stealing "his" elk from his bait station.



It's the battle of the baiters!

Smh

I had to do a double take....almost looked like he was carrying num chucks in his left hand.

That's low. Had my bow sling lifted from my bike this am. Empty....but still ticks me off. Anyone know the guy?

[KFhunter]

You're also way too close to the road. 

He should be lathered up like an old mare just getting to your bait

I'm surprised they didn't steal your bike too. You were the first rig in?

Not sticking up for the guy but maybe he thought someone was baiting bear or maybe I'm in denial that there are some people that are that pathetic 

[daddyelk]

I guess when someone baits game this is what could happen.
Just saying

Guess I got lucky. Bikes were laying down in the brush. It was a hunter for sure.

[snarkybull]

you got out-mastered on your baiting.

You win two internets.

You should put more info in the thread so more people look at it. "Photos of a thief"

[snowpack]

need to get a fake feed block.  Say sawdust and colored rock.  Then soak the thing in wolf pee.  Let him haul that off to his spot.

LMAO!

[pianoman9701]

Public land? Like someone said, he may have thought that 1. you were bear baiting, or 2. He should impose his personal set of ethics on everyone else.

Yet another good reason for using bags of loose salt. Would have been awesome to see him try and pick a pile of salt up off the ground.

Side note...
I found a 50# salt block about 75-100 yards behind one of my farm cameras yesterday. Surely no ill intent as it was set out for cattle, but I can't help but wonder who's hitting the block behind my camera. Wish I brought an extra camera with me to set up on it. The cattle are gone for the year.

You call that prison soap.  Harder to pick up.

It would be funny if you could find your salt with his cam over it. Blow up the pic of him stealing and hold the pic if front of his cam.

For you legal types on here, doesn't this seem like a bigger deal than we're making it?  I mean in Washington aren't there additional penalties for theft while carrying a firearm?

I’m not a legal type but this looks like simple theft to me, not robbery.  Theft of a $10 block of salt isn’t exactly a felony.

Maybe he thought it was abandoned?  If he picked up a 5$ bill in the woods, would that be theft with a firearm?  I'm sure it was someone elses money

[Curly]

If he thought a salt block sitting in the woods was abandoned,  he's an idiot.  A $5 bill laying on the ground is obviously lost.

legally, he can pick up trash in the woods. 



Another angle I haven't seen mentioned is perhaps this is open range area and one way they get cattle off range is pull the salt.  Now there's so many bait piles and salt licks around that it's much harder to pull cattle off range....

then we see threads about cattle not being off range by hunting season   

[Fl0und3rz]

What is legal and what can be gotten away with contrary to written law are entirely different animals.  I am sure that nobody is going to prosecute and nobody is going to sue over a block of salt, due at least in part to the myriad of possible defenses to a charge of theft or allegations of conversion of personal property.

If that's on public property, it is the price you pay for sharing the land with your fellow citizens and "sportsmen."  Public shaming is the only arguably legal remedy (not condoning libel).

I don't bait or leave stands on public land, in part, because I don't trust people to keep their greasy ****-skinners to themselves.  And there are some desperate and despicable types out there.  See, the news story about two brave souls who stole a tablet device from a wheelchair-bound epileptic in public, in broad daylight, under camera surveillance.

What if it was a trail camera that he took? Could he claim it was okay to take because he thought it was trash? 

[h20hunter]

Please. We have been over the $5 dollar bill and everything else over and over. I'd bet the same $5 that this is a classic "oh no you don't hunt in MY SPOT BY GOLLY!!!!" situation. I'd lay down another $5 that there are forum members that would do the same thing. I'll go further and pony up another $5 bet that somebody already knows who this is.

[pianoman9701]

Busted! 

[HUNTINCOUPLE]

If it is on public land? I'd bet that block ain't that far away? Maybe you need to go reclaim your block? This could turn into an interesting reality TV show! Battle of the Baiters...
