Community > Trail Cameras

Why do people want to cover the trail cam so their picture will not be taken

Last day of archery elk, someone put a cover on the trail camera and a few hours later removed it.
As remote as the spot was, they could have been doing something illegal, and there would be no witnesses.
But possibly, they were camera shy.

MtnMuley:
Lots of guys don't want their pic taken. Me included. :twocents:

But with a trail camera there, there were possible witnesses....

I was recently setting up a blind a few weeks prior to archery season with my son. We came across a game camera on the trail. I covered the lens with a piece of moss as a courtesy not to use up the memory card. When we were finished in the area I removed the moss before leaving.

:yeah:
As said right in the original post, "As remote as the spot was" maybe a lot of us like to go into the woods for privacy. Yea yea there's "no" privacy.. but not everyone wants to be watched so why is it automatically something illegal if they prevented pictures from being taken of them. They didn't damage or steal the camera, good on them for finding a way to cover it without destroying it (like we seen so many times).
