Would you check someone else’s trail cam?

[Bowhunter3]

I lock mine now for that reason. people are lazy, your not going to shoot quality animals if your not willing to put in the work. I've found people don't realize how much money and time folks put in when they run a lot of cameras.

I agree 💯 percent.
It's a turn off to share trail cam pics with HW.
When so many disapprove of something that is legal.
Guys that put in so much hard work ,only to share the best pics with everyone. Pretty much get spit on by a few,that don't want to do the work.

You were trying to give away(share) hunting spots on here because other people had found them. People don’t forget. Talk a little less

Alot more story to that fiasco ,that I don't feel the need to share.
Maybe you already know,since you seem to never forget,I know I'll never forget.

I remember that, sending new members that were looking for help into spots you knew had other people in them because you wanted to screw up their hunt.

How about we get back on topic?

[Skyvalhunter]

That would be a first

[Bowhunter3]

I’d never touch one. I have a couple out in places that I encourage one friend to check with his kids but the spot has become a doe party from what I hear. Obviously not the same situation. Keep your hands to yourselves and your emotions in check.

I don’t mess with them   I did talk to a guy a while back who volunteered that he takes the card out of the ones he saw.   His justification was that he has a reputation for shooting big bucks and didn’t want people to know where he hunted. I kinda wrote him off as a *censored* but different perspective for sure.  I’ve also lived in and hunted the area I saw him my whole life and never heard of him

[bearpaw]

I leave other people's cams alone, it's the right thing to do. If you see someone's auto parked on the mountain is it OK to get inside and mess with it, of course not! 

[Skyvalhunter]

It's ok to go into their car if they are in it and look like they need assistance.

Doesn't surprise me, I know guys who swap vehicles regularly and keep them hidden in the off season just to keep from burning their elk spots. They're like vampires and sunlight when they step in front of a trail cam 

[dreamingbig]

Just curious what everyone’s opinion is on this:

You come across a trail camera in an area you hunt. Are you willing to check it? Nothing more, just open the camera, check the card on your phone, and put it right back. Not deleting pictures or messing with camera, just checking the card. (This is also assuming the camera does not have a lock box you would have to mess with. )

And if you knew someone had checked your camera, like stated, would you be frustrated?

I personally have checked cameras before, and personally don’t care if people check mine as long as they don’t mess with anything else. I’m just curious if that is how many other people feel as well?

I leave them untouched.  I was raised to leave other peoples stuff alone.

I have mine stolen and broken.  They are all locked so you can’t check them without breaking.

HANG EM HIGH.(Trail cams)

If your gonna check someone's SD,you might as well slap your tag on someone's buck as well. Then brag about it....lol.
All kinds of shady stuff happens in those woods ,when no one's around. Some will get caught ,most don't.
Hunters among hunters are our worst enemy, everything from property damage and theft, commission. Public land that we claim as our own,any subject really.
I wish ALL of you the best season possible. I have many goals for this year, don't need the drama that this site provides in the off season.
I'm out.
