Would you check someone else’s trail cam?

[LDennis24]

Speaking hypothetically, what if you and a buddy are packing salt into a particular area to see what kind of deer are there and you set up cameras and put in a bunch of work. You check your cams after a few weeks and see a nice nontypical mule deer buck. Then on your way out you come across someone else's camera in "your area". Shouldn't you check and see if they got pics of "your deer" and if so maybe delete them? So that they don't target the same area and shoot "your deer"? Then put everything back as it was so they don't know about you deleting the pics. And of course tell everyone you would never delete someone's pics, just look at them out of curiosity...

Most probably wouldn't notice deleted pics.
I would ,on my phone ,when I view it shows the picture number.
That's how I've known in the past ,before I cable locked.
That someone was messing with the card.
Also having cards go corrupt,is another hint that someone viewed it.

It's not yours, why would you think that it's ok to check somebody else's cam?  That would be a terrible interaction I'm 100 percent positive.

This kind of seems like a troll question just to see everyone's heads explode. They do it a lot on Reddit.

Truth right there 
Answer is no for me,I have no problem running my own setup.
If it kills ya to know what's on someone camera,put in your own.
Done with this topic.👍

Hard no from me on this.  Just because someone messed with your setup in the past does not give any right to mess with someone else's.  That's like saying you were robbed at gunpoint on the street, so you can rob other people now. The mental gymnastics required to justify this behavior is as impressive to me as it is troubling.

This question sort of run parallel to, "You're at a restaurant and see a man and woman laughing having dinner.  Do you approach the table to offer her your phone number
/ask her out on a date?" Some people might say,  sure go for it! Others would question why you don't see it's the wrong time and place to meddle. It's the idea of free will that let's you have thoughts and desires but then being part of a civilized society is maintaining trust and rules with other people.  You still have your free will but you choose to limit your actions so you're respecting other people's lives and property. You find a wallet with $500 in it... does the cash go to your pocket or do you pull you the ID and get the cash back to the owner? Sure,  maybe they would not miss it..OR that is their only grocery money that month to feed their kids. If you have a choice to make and you want civilization to succeed, you choose the path that respects other peoples property. You don't touch it. Even if yours has been touched 50 times.  That's my final and overly wordy answer.  Sorry, it's my day off and the coffee has me all amped up I seriously might stick this toddler in the jogging stroller and go out for a few miles.  Perfect weather for a run

We’ll just playing devils advocate.. by saying you don’t touch other people’s things, you wouldn’t be touching the wallet to know there’s $500 or look at an ID. Not saying I disagree with your logic, just for the purpose of the discussion.

For the purposes of the discussion - if the wallet was hiked back into the woods and deliberately strapped to a tree, I wouldn't touch that wallet.  But if trail cam was lying on the floor of a bar, where it obviously wasn't placed intentionally, then I'd pick it up and try to determine who the owner was - before someone else with sticky fingers decided to pick it up and read the card.

What if......
Someone hiked their wife in 5 miles and tied her to a tree.... 🤔

One of life's most perplexing questions....

I usually re-purpose them for my advantage.  Though occassionally, they are set just right.

I would never touch someone else's camera. 
But i do try to pose for every one I find and then move on.

This may be considered baiting.

Several years back I was going to check one of my cams and came across a ribbon trail leading right to my Moultrie cam. The guy cut the lock off and took the SD card then left in a $20 inside. Little did he know that cam had internal memory and got his picture.

Situation like that, I wonder if they wanted the intel or didn't want their picture taken.

Nope, not mine. Leave it alone and pose for a photo.
