Hi All,
Wish I had posted this back on October 10, 2017 when it happened. Maybe someone might have seen something, as I noticed there are a few post for the Scatter Creek Wildlife Area.
Perps smashed my drivers side window and grabbed my day pack (fully loaded w/Prostaff 5 bino) and my gun "maintenance" bag, that included among other items two boxes of ammo (7mm WSM - hard to come by and expensive). Altogether, $1K. Funny thing is I never would have thought that my gear would add up to that much. Not to mention the cost for repairing the window.
All items were in truck and covered with a gray wool blanket. I usually have all my gear (daypack) and binos on me when hunting. But figured, I was only going to take a quick peek / exploring the area for an hour or so
, in and out. Never been here so didn't think nothing of it and parked at the gated entrance (this is a walk-in only area). Gone maybe two hours.
You know America is a great country, but like all other countires...we have unsavory types and they tend to ruin our days.
Lesson learned - Parking outside a walk-in area is fine...as long as it is not by a main road in a secluded area (I guess); for those of you that hunt the scatter creek area this happened around Tilley road by the Quarry gate and the Wildlife area gate.
