Camera theft in GMU 328

[Timberstalker]

What’s pathetic to begin with is that we to have lock these damn cameras.

I can't see spending more than $40 on a trail camera or spending additional money to lock them up as a person will take them if they really want them.

Had two $20 cams walk off last year that were the farthest from the road, yet I had a camera in a tree 3' off a main road last 3 winters and it was still there all 3 springs when I went to get it.

This is what I don't get, Seems like most cams stolen are always "way back in deep" or on private. 
Makes me go hmmmmmmm??

I guess some people's way out could be different than others

My hunting partners and I hung cameras in the 340 a couple of years ago and went to retrieve them after we set up camp a couple of days before the muzzle loader opener. My buddy came back from his hike and told us that his camera was stolen and he was really disappointed as they had been up since the July 4th holiday and should have had some good pictures. A few days later he was hunting up in that area and low and behold there was his camera right on the tree where he hung it - he looked in the wrong tree. I wonder how many of the reports of stolen cameras on this board are really just lost like my friends?

I feel like the way back deep are two things. If they are in a wilderness area then it isn't legal to place them there. Or if it isn't in a wilderness area then another hunter who thinks it's "his spot" doesn't really want you there.

The two that I had taken were legally placed and labeled to say so. Used to help run quite a few that are a half a days walk just to get to them. Full day to get to them on skis.

I knew where all of them were as all the setups are well documented.

Cameras aren't allowed in Wilderness Areas?

He is correct.
No personal belongings can be left for over 48 hours.( I believe is the time limit)
This also includes a small salt block as I had a very long conversation 4 miles in a wilderness with a forest service officer.
They're are aTON of hunters breaking the law/rule on this.

Looks like you can’t camp in there for more than 48 hours then.
