Does your location under your avatar actually say "in your hunting spot"?Hhhhmmmm
Has anyone attempted to imbed an air tag somewhere inside the camera? I assume at least some of the stolen ones get taken home. Thieves suck
I think I'll just leave it be for now.(Kinda over it)As soon as the camera check was done,salt was gone.I immediately started bear hunting, glassed a few bucks.Found some bear sign,took a look at the berry situation.So the drive and fuel cost wasn't as big of an issue.Kinda turned into a hunting trip,when someone took the salt .A little more info about the setup.Camera was put up in the spring,it was about 8 ft on the tree.Just out of reach. With a Cable lock .I only did two checks, probably two month soaks. I had cameras in this spot,4-5 years ago ,have had a camera stolen,and a SD stolen before. It not a surprise.Camera was 60 mi from my house as the crow flys.One of the farthest cameras.Recently I've been pulling a lot of cameras out since.My location is NE WASHINGTON ,my avatar location is just me being a jack wagon. I don't intentionally look for people's spots.But do end up in someone's spot ,such as this case.I agree my avatar location is lmao.....LOL 😂
I don’t. By far & away it’s Almost always another hunter that doesn’t want someone else in “his” spot. Most hunters are good honest people, but there’s a good amount of trash that hunts, also.
Don’t you guys think the more probable is an anti hunter? That vid with the anti trapper messing with the guys stuff on here in the middle of winter shows some dedication.
I would say 50/50 if it's a hunter or anti-hunter.Anyway you slice it,they didn't want me hunting or having a camera setup there.Years ago the SD stolen and camera damage occurred during archery season. That was the primary reason for pulling it before September this time .With that said ,I still can't say for sure if it was a hunter back then or now.Going forward next year.I'll probably find a new spot,this will be the third new spot I'll have to come up with. I'll weld together a lock box,bring a ladder.Probably put it like 20 ft up. See if that stops them.Maybe a sign with my cell, maybe a tree that isn't easily cut down.I share about 90 percent of my photos with HW,id probably share photos if they ask nice.

Outlaw cameras and thermal stuff in the woods.It's ridiculous. The end.

I think the game camera trend is way out of hand. I use them on my property for the 2 legged A-holes that sneak around in the dark and steal stuff. And we have one on the 40 acre private parcel we hunt at the access gate. We do see quite a few deer on it though. But just like everything else in this "industy", we have dumbed it down due to laziness. Sure it makes it easier to set up a cell camera on a ridge and check it from your recliner. Instead of driving out dozens of times a year to actually watch that same ridge to see what's going on. We also have bows capable of kills out past 100 yards, muzzleloaders capable of shooting close to 200 yard groups like modern rifles, everyone wants a muzzle brake or a can on the end of their rifle, all the clothing we use nowadays is so lightweight and comfy, it makes you wonder how we hunted in woolies and union suits with wood stock rifles and fixed 4 power scopes, mediocre compounds, and sidelock muzzleloaders 30 years ago. But I digress... Gary

But I digress... GaryI totally agree with ya. The hunting was way better 30 years ago.Now we have onx,SxS,1000 yard rifles out the box with hand loading instructions. I feel what your saying.But we have went so far forward,that there is no going back.Can't beat ,join 'em.With that said ,I still wear blue jeans,still put on a flannel to hunt sometimes. Still leave my junk at home sometimes,put a knife on my belt,some TP in my back pocket. Take my rifle that just sighted in for 100 yards . GO HUNT. I do wish we could go back, open sight 30/30,my knife and that's it.So now I just draw a line for myself on what is fair chase is for me .
I can't find anything in the regulations that says a person couldn't set up game camera's in a canyon or on a trail and then sit farther up or down the canyon or trail and then have the camera tell you when an animal walked in front of the camera's. I can't believe that the state fish and wildlife haven't thought of that. Am I reading too much into it? Are the camera's and cell phone's that sophisticated and accurate that they'll give you real time info? If so, I gotta get me some.
48 cameras in one area?!?! Good grief.
