to the pos that stole my camera

Yeah it's frustrating, but I'm sure you're fine. Like o said, this has been there for 6+ years and never a problem. Oh and here's one more for you guys.

Wow those are some fantastic photos!  I hope you find whoever did it!

My guess if they look at the chip and find photos like that they will be in the general area come hunting season, maybe even placing a camera nearby soon.

I found one not far last year, left it as a normal person would, and continued to do my thing. I don't even hunt this area. It's all for the fun of seeing what's out there. I'll
Just have to carpet bomb the area with cams until I find the culprit

It also could be anti hunters or people up to no good who didn't want pics of them taken.  With the pics of the dogs I would say the wolf loving anti hunter becomes a more likely suspect.

I have a suggestion about doing this. I'll PM you.

That's how I caught my guy.  Now I just let it go, it will drive you crazy worrying about it.  Buglebrush is already stressing out about his stuff.  It's like no trespassing signs, they only keep the honest people honest.

@run, these dogs were from two years ago. Never an issue. I have them randomly on other cams quite a ways a way and never had as issue. I think some people have a complete disregard for someone else's hard work and are just fine cashing in thinking they will never be caught or that no one will make an issue of it. I'll go back in and when I do catch the person I will make it publicly known they are a thief and plaster it on anything I can. Social media can be horrible and great at the same time. People he knows will eventually see it, maybe even a boss, and see what kind of character this person really is. People don't like theives, and I'd imagine when bossman finds out might have a different perspective on his all star employee

Some POS stole my cam 4 weeks ago.

Add me to the list - lost a Browning 10 days ago.  It may have been a bear though.  I lost the strap for it a year ago and have just placed it on a log with a tree supporting it from behind (private property).  It was fine for a year, then it quit working due to moisture intrusion.  I sent it in expecting to pay for repairs, but Browning sent me a new cam replacement even though it was way out of the warranty period.   Three weeks in the woods then poof!  No cam.

I doubt it was a hunter. Maybe a poacher but not a hunter.

Anyone who hunts legitimately is not going to bother breaking down a camera box for a $100 camera.

My guess would be a tweaker or someone living in the woods. It could also be a rogue state worker. Maybe some environmentalist student that is working out there.

Just stay armed and forget about it. I know it sucks but whoever did will get theirs eventually. Anyone lame enough to break a camera box is going to cross the wrong person at some point.

  I know it sucks,whenever I leave a cam or stand in the woods I expect it to be gone...Its a different world today       

[BreezyBear]

Just a heads up..... there is a camera thief in the Reecer Creek area that apparently is packing a ladder, a friend just told me his camera was stolen from there this week, it wasn't locked, but it was at ladder required height!  It was a Primos

[Timberstalker]

Good lord, who packs a ladder in? He probably packed in tree stand steps.

It's get to be that you 3 cameras per set. 1 to watch your vehicle,  1 to watch the animals and 1 to watch the camera watching the animals. 

[skeeter 20i]

  +1 to watch your camp
