Why take it down in the first place?
I am always amazed when jerks seem to act offended when they are called out for doing jerk type stuff.
just got back from checking my camera with my son. only to find it gone. brush pickers got it. very pissed right now. that's number two stolen for me in the last year
Why would anyone leave a rifle in the woods? If I find a rifle I would assume it is lost. I wouldn't think that about a camera that is setup on a tree. Taking a trailcam is theft no matter what justification people come up with.Dave of the farms and his brother at least gave the camera back, but that was still a jerk move to remove the cam. That fellow sportsman lost valuable time when his camera was down. Hopefully karma gets paybacks on you guys.
Actually it was much easier then that. We told the neighboring land owner if anyone showed up looking for a trail cam to let em know someone "found it" and to give em our number. Even though the property is free to hunt, its not posted as such and you pretty much have to go through this neighboring land owner to hunt it. Whom we know very well. So it played out as expected. They showed up, it was gone, they swung by the land owner to cry about it. He called us and the next day we dropped it off so they could pick it up. We had a chuckle about it when we dropped it off with the land owner. End of story.Now I know many of you wanted to assume there was a much more devilish story or motive. And as entertaining as its been reading the comments, Im sorry to have to kill that and disappoint. But feel free to continue on. Just let me get some popcorn first.

Nope, taking someone else's cam off private land is devilish enough. You're either a troll looking for a reaction or a sociopath."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 (That's the biggest line of BS I've ever heard). 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." This statement really says it all. You're definitely not part of the brotherhood of hunters and really have very little care for others at all. For you, hunting isn't about tradition and heritage, it's about what's in it for you. I have little doubt that you play fast and loose with the law, as well. You're the guy that picks up his spent shells only if he's sure he can't get away with leaving them, not because it's the right thing to do. Or, when it's 5 minutes past shooting time and you know it, you shoot anyway. Sticking to regulations is just for the "suckers", I'm sure. I sure hope you're not raising children.
