Who Steals Trail Cams?

[Woodchuck]

We are? What? He is on here saying to steal? You applaud him? For coming forward?

Yes I applaud him for admitting he took a trail camera.

Great....adding a few usernames to my memory bank in this thread.

Just wow.....

So if you took a trail camera, you wouldn't come forward?

I wouldn't take what isn't mine. I don't like to put words in other's mouths but I am sure Jackelope is on the same page here.

I wouldn't take a trail camera that wasn't mine.

By the way, I have six trail cams out right now, and NONE are locked. 

(5 on public land)

I'm hoping this is just a really successful troll. I hate thinking there are actually hunters like this out there. Although we all know there are. They are the ones stealing are trail cameras, animals, antlers, and gear.

If it is indeed a troll then it is a pretty poor use of ones name and reputation considering his name and business are all over the web.

I think nacheshunter should go and have a talk with ol sticky fingers dave  and ask for his camera back before calling everyone out.

Well, I guess it was nice of Dave to come forward and answer the question the OP asked about "Who steals trailcams".  At least he explained why he and his brother steal and how they justify it in their minds. 

I've always wondered myself who steals trail cams.  It has been confirmed I think.  Thieves steal trailcams and they have their own little justification in their minds that allows them to do it without conscience.

So next question is... what would you do if you found a trail camera on your private property that was posted no trespassing?  Hope this isn't jacking the thread too much.

I would own it.
At least I'm honest. Someone broke the law to put it there on my land.
I'd refer them to the sheriff if they wanted it back.

Posted and my land, now my cam.

There are of course some variables.....

Say I checked the card and it was a local youth that may have made an honest mistake. A talking too and maybe a Saturday of chores would be the ticket to reclaim the cam.

Lots of what ifs in that scenario but bottom line...private property.
