Capital Forest
« on: July 19, 2016, 10:37:33 PM »
I just thought about it today for the first time, could I set out a trailcam in Capital Forest? Or would it have to high of a risk of being stolen. It would be on a deer trail fairly deep in CF. But I know a lot of people like to hike around before hunting season starts so I'm not sure if I could pull it off. Anyone have any ideas?

If you don't care if you lose it. Use a cheap one and hang it up high pointing down.A lot of people put their cameras at or near the base of a tree. Climb up and face it at a downward angle and put a lock on it. At least make them work for it. Problem with the cheap ones usually is the shutter speed or it actually flashes on some of them instead of the infrared. With the slower speed cameras you'll have to put out some kind of attractant, which may be noticed.  :twocents:

Josie,
 Most of the people stay pretty close to the roads but the brush pickers get pretty deep into the forest. I can't attest to their honesty but I don't know if I'd chance it up there. There's pickers on any patch that have good salal and the forest is full of it. That stuff is noisy to walk through but the deer like to hang out in it. Probably for that very reason.
