Is this your cam?

[h20hunter]

You can bare butt my cams, give them the finger, make funny faces, do what you want.

You open it, touch it, look at the card if you break into it, anything that involves you touching it you are getting your face posted with an exact time and location.

I don't need an explanation other than you think it okay to help yourself to other peoples equipment. Nope, I'm not perfect but I don't intentionally mess with anyone's equipment then think its funny and post online.

Sorry you feel this way. I just hope the real intent gets to the person who owns the cam. There were animals on there I would really like to tag. But like I stated before I still wont be back. And I wont be back to disturb the area checking the cam I was going to put up. Hope he gets up there's with a new sd cause there weren't even a probably a hundred pics and it was full. That was my intent.

Some of you guys on this board are something else. 

It's about as simple as it gets.  If it isn't your camera leave it alone.  It doesn't matter what YOUR beliefs are.  It isn't YOURS it belongs to another FELLOW HUNTER. 

No analogies needed I would think to exercise common sense and respect.

So now we have Game Camera Self Appointed Police in the woods. What's the penalty for a full SD card?

I hear what you are saying and see that your intent was not malicious, I agree. However, you attempt at humor, the fact that you of course left it alone, don't plan to hunt the area....all that.....it simply gets lost because you don't get the fact that you should have never messed with the cam in the first place. It doesn't belong to you. Bottom line.

Apparently analogies are needed because some people can't tell the difference between something that does not affect their lives and something malicious and spiteful.

Analogies are needed because some lose perspective on principles because they feel the level of severity determines right or wrong.

Wow some seriously hypersensitive people on here. I have trail cameras out and i couldn't care less if someone took a look at the pictures and put everything back the way it was.Comparing it to touching another mans wife or vehicle is unrealistic.It's just looking at some pictures no damage no theft no malicious behavior why get so bent out of shape about it? I guess none of you would touch someones rifle if found in the woods because it's not yours or all the items in the what have you found in the woods thread?

A rifle laying in the woods exposed to the weather was almost certainly lost and taking it to find the owner is the stand up thing to do.  A trailcam is left in the woods with the specific purpose of returning to it.  Your comparison is much less realistic than the truck / wife comparison.  I like this thread it shows who has respect for other peoples property and who doesnt.

Not that I'm justifying this guys behavior - because people woll and already have twisted it way beyond where it should of went.
But if you find a 20$ bill on the ground are you going to leave it there because its "someone elses property" or are you going to pick it up for the fact that it will benefit you or simply be nice to have. If you have ever done this then your a straight hypocrit. I don't condone doing and woukdnt openly admit to doing it like this guy but give me a break. You guys with your "it shows peoples true colors" or w.e bs. Get over it. Say hey you probably shouldn't be doing that - most guys wouldn't appreciate it. And leave it at that....
If you want to keep your stuff private, lock it up. Just like you would your house and vehicle. For all you guys know the OP could be a standup guy and just may have not thought about saying what he did before he did.

A $20 bill on the ground was probably not intentionally put there like this game cam was, but I get your point.

No smossy, not the same thing.  A 20 on the ground is obviously lost.  A cam on a tree is there for the specific fact that the owner will come back to it.  No hypocrisy there.  Completely different circumstances.  Nobody sets a 20 on the ground with the intention of returning to it a week later.  Your analogy flat out doesnt work

[superdown]

Okay screw analogies.  Ill say this.  YOU might think its okay to check my camera, but it is MINE and i do NOT think its okay.  Dont touch my things.

I guess just agree to disagree because apparently according to the majority of people on this sight between dummy camps,treestands and trail cams think it's perfectly acceptable to leave your stuff in the woods for as long as you like regardless of the rules and expect know one to touch it ever.

I get it. I won't be doing it again if I happen to cross one in the future. I get what you guys are saying. It just didn't occur to me at the time. The analogy of the treestand is the perfect example in my opinion. Not some of these off the wall ones that have been said. Because yeah if I hung a stand on public land and someone was in it I would be kinda pissed. I think that was the best example. I also dont appreciate the comments in my other thread that are off topic to that thread and just plain being jerks. So thanks

So now you're the authority on what is "obviously" lost

Just chalk it up to a learning experience.  No harm done.  We all make mistakes, you owned it, it shouldn't define you or your character.  Don't let the keyboard cowboys get to you.  Their just bored rifle hunters like me.
