I wish they were all illegal, they make me feel like I'm trespassing on my own (i.e. public) land, every time I run across one.  Also makes people act like they have a prior claim to the first come first served rule.


Interesting choice of wording...
(i.e.) My own land (public), ...act like the have a prior claim...

Things that make you go hmmmm

or go huh?  what is your point? I don't get it or why you edited my words like you did.  Anyway, I wish they were illegal all year round


I did not edit your quote in any way, nor change your meaning or intent.

To paraphrase, You said that you don't like other peoples stuff on YOUR (public) land.  AND then you go on to say that OTHERS act like they have a prior CLAIM to YOUR public land.

Still odd and strangely humorous that you don't see it.   :dunno:  So excuse me while I  :chuckle: ... I found it humorous!

Ah, I get it.  You did split up my (i.e. public) and paraphrase my words as a result, no biggie, I can see the humor in it.  To be clear though, I don't say I don't like stuff on my land, I say I feel like I'm trespassing. 

Cameras are problematic for women in the woods, I've squatted in front of at least one trail cam while hunting, I don't know how many others I didn't see over the years. 

I don't use them, as you can probably tell, but I don't mind them for private land at all.  I feel the same about ATVs.

So it was YOU who was pee'n in front of my trail camera!

J/K  :chuckle:


Seriously though LOL someone was trying to get me out of "their" Elk area and started messing with my camera's.   
I did some more scouting around the area and found their cameras so I pulled mine and left. 

I found their pee marks and they had erased SD cards, my bait gone.

Ha!  so now camera = ownership?  I have heard of some water holes with 40+ cameras on them, nobody messes with anyone's cameras.  The problem is the hunters more than the cameras themselves in your case.  Sorry you got run out of there

No it's not like that, this was in the NE corner so no 40 trail cams on 1 water hole, and besides there was another waterhole just a ways away.   I just didn't want someone knowing where my stuff was and messing with it so I moved. 


besides, I figured out we were hunting different seasons anyways (Archery vs Muzzle)

Your chances of getting caught on a cam peeing in the woods are probably 1 in a million. I suggest you go hunt an area farther off the road if they worry you. Public restrooms are where you need to worry nowadays

Sure you do that's pretty grown up.

 Couple years ago a coworker was headed up a mainline just before daylight and nature called so he whipped up a small spur to an old landing . He said he walked about 20 yards into brush and did his duty as he was buttoning up it was a little lighter and he noticed a cam pointed right at him . :o Somebody got a helluva pic ! :yike:

I would have pulled the SD card in that instance and erased all images of myself.

I love these threads. Carry on.
