LOL  :chuckle: Its ok if you dont like it. I dont need or require you to. Though I think its funny that you can make the jump from "my brother took one" to "better lock up your stuff cause here comes Dave". Typical small mindedness though. Especially cause I wasnt even there when my brother took it. But still agree with him.

My reaction was more to your 2nd paragraph where you said "our" and "we". I jumped right to that part...whether you were there or not when he took the camera, you pretty much said word for word you do the same thing.
Here it is for a refresher in case you forgot.
Quote
My brother took one this year off a piece of public land we scout and hunt. We hunt it both muzzle and modern and were pretty sure to run into the owner at some point during the seasons. We did and gave it back to him.

Our thinking: On private land we would never touch it NOR even trespass onto the land to see it anyways. We have our own but dont use em. Would rather get out there and scout it. Gotta put work in son.
But if you are stupid enough to put a cam on public land without security or even an attempt to hide it, you dont deserve it. Dont like? Tough. Its the way we play it.

Thief.


Boom Shakalaka.  Tough to argue there.

The goat man, and others like him, are really good at justification at least in their minds.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

That's the part I just don't get. I understand trolls going on a public forum and flame it while hiding behind an avatar, but someone with an established business and a reputation to maintain???

I am truly baffled.

I don't know why you guys are so up tight about someone coming out about commiting a crime, but I have props for this guy coming on here and saying what he and his brother done. Not many people have the guts to say what he did on the internet. Yes you shouldn't take something from the woods as that is a crime in some leo's eyes, but I find that people that come out the past are upfront about it and admit guilt. I helped an ex felon out last year as he was packing a bull out of the wilderness by himself, and admired him of becoming a better person than has past as he overcame obstacles of having a prior drug life.

And thanks being said, you cant judge what is on the internet. Dave could be saying this to get some chuckles out of responses. You never know who the type of person is behind a keyboard and shouldnt be to quick to judge.

My best friend used to post a lot until you guys started making threats against him and bullying him, so he doesn't progide the useful information that he did anymore.

I have no respect for a person who commits a crime and is proud of it. It wasn't a mistake and obviously he is proud of it so no props from me, only disgust.  :twocents:

I get your point, but it would be best served if you were supporting someone who regretted the crime. 

This man does not regret it, instead he promotes what his brother has done and will most likely do again.

Dave wasn't admitting he thought those actions were wrong, he said, "you don't like it? tough"  that is different than somebody who admitting past failures who is now better.

Maybe we're just pretending to not like thieves...shouldn't be too quick to judge

Obviously this guy doesn't want to own up to his wrong doings. The guy you helped with the elk...realized he made a mistake and is working to make himself a better person. This Dave guy is proud of his wrong doings and doesn't see anything wrong with it.
If he was in the shoes of your elk hunting guy, I'd be proud of him too. He's not though. He's attempting to justify his wrongs.

And....apparently doesn't give a lick about any business rep. He's plastered all over the web as well as Facebook.

THIEF

By the way, nice job on the help with the elk. Completely different scenario.

Can't believe I didn't see this earlier.  That is so messed up...

If it isn't yours, keep your fingers off of it.

You apparently have never had someone steal from you, like your bike as a kid, or your tackle boxes from your truck, or your trail camera put up on a tree, you think its ok because he had the cahonies to admit it and go even further to say its is ok and tuff...and the person who's property was taken deserved it? Seriously if the person who took my stihl weed eater i just bought last spring and my stihl chainsaw i use every year to cut wood to heat my house came on here and admited he took them you would be ok with it....because he admited it? So if he takes my trail camera i bought with money i earned by making a honest living its ok becasue it is my fault i did not lock it up good enough? I dont care if it is locked or not IT IS NOT YOURS, LEAVE IT ALONE, i am glad you or dave do not hunt or hang out in my area... i would have to lock everything up...
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

If it was on private property, go ahead, but on public, dont go to far. A person who did that like what you are saying could be the one who ends up in jail.

If I am not mistaken, even placing a paint packet on a tree is considered a booby trap. No way would I ever threaten someone, or commit a crime when it comes to protecting a trail camera.

If they had admitted it and have worked to overcome the obstacles associated with their past.  Why are you calling me a nogooder? There is no reason to.  People make changes for the better and hopefully dave does.  I am not a person who thinks it is o.k., but I think it is good that people ADMIT to their past.
