Alternative perspective on messing with others’ game cams

[Angry Perch]

This thread is about to go bye-bye. If anyone has anything constructive to add, now's the time.

Don't be a D-bag, don't sleep with another guy's wife, and, most importantly, DON'T TOUCH OTHER PEOPLES' TRAIL CAMERAS!

Words to live by.

Whatever happens don't let the camera owner check his photos and see you diddlin his wife. Bad ju ju!

my alternative perspective on game cameras is that they should be made illegal. spend some time outdoors doing some Real scouting would do most hunters some good rather then setting up a camera and checking it every every 6 months and maybe once before hunting season and calling that scouting. take your kids out scouting as a excuse to get in the woods my daughter herd her first bugle last year and is hooked now. cant get that with a game camera.  but on the original topic I hate game cams but won't touch one if I see it. might place a branch in front of the sensor if I see it though to help them get a few extra pics......jk

on another topic is it even legal to leave game cameras in any national forest or wilderness areas? I thought they were a left as you found area preserve the natural habitat. I might be mistaken but game cameras are not part of the natural habitat and then also I see alot ot guys cutting limbs and bolting the cameras to trees which is also illegal if it's a perfectly good living tree.

I feel the need to apologize to the OP for questioning his upbringing and disparaging his parents, that was not right and i am sorry..

No offense taken buckmark, thank you.

think what you want I was just asking a legitament question. if someone want to answer the question fine but no need to try and attack people for asking questions thought that is what this forum is for?

I missed a lot while at work today lol. read through all the new posts and just to be clear: someone brought up common sense and following ones moral compass. This is exactly the right thing to do in all situations of life. And I also feel this is where we fall short of understanding that different peoples moral compass leads them to different conclusions. Example: My personal moral compass directs me to leave other peoples cameras alone. they are not mine, they belong to someone else, and I don't need to touch them. (this is truly my personal stance for myself, even though many have assumed otherwise) However, I know there are those out there that follow their own compass and see absolutely nothing wrong with viewing pics from cameras they happen upon on public ground, and I respect that even though its not for me. Now I CANNOT respect that one who deletes, steals or maliciously tampers with anothers camera did so by following his/her moral compass. These people are only fooling themselves.

thats exactly what this forum should be about. ask away. dont worry about the critisism, it will always be there but so too will the positive feedback. the good and the bad, we take it all. I dont know the answer to your question, possibly there could be something there in regards to wilderness areas
