I caught a van load of brush pickers trying to steal a trail cam I had out.  Luckily I could see the camera was gone and was able to block the road with my truck.  After the cowards lied to me for an hour they finally gave back my camera and left.  Those brush pickers are every where these days.

  Blackbearkiller.....I have done the same thing back in high school and it worked just like yours did.  BUT!...before people start booby trapping evrything...there is a state law against booby traps. You are setting something up with the forethought of causing bodily harm. That is a felony. I know it pisses everybody off when they get ripped off. But if you have a case and a perp, then officer finds out you set a booby trap....you get in trouble. Don't get me wrong. You gotte do what you gotta do. Just know where you stand with the man. Ignorance in a court of law is no defense.

Sorry for your loss, I had my bow/pack stolen out of my cherokee 2 weeks before the end of the 08 season. Thieves are the main reason I have been holding off buying and hanging trail cams.

Haven't had anything taken in the woods, yet...real nervous about it, hate leaving my Jeep parked out of sight...

When I was 8 or 9 our house was robbed while we were in B.C. on Summer vacation. They got a side of beef, my lawn mowing for a new bike money (65$) my 1st .22, had it for maybe 18 months and a bunch of dads WWII souvenirs.

What really pissed me off and still bums me out? They took the .22 Grandpa gave dad when he was 10. He was 42 when it happened. He had spent 40+hrs the previous winter handrubbing Linseed Oil into the stock, man it looked good.

This friends is why you need to take pictures of your valuables and write down serial numbers.

  After a great trip to Montana some years back, my two hunting partners were taking their meat to Frances to have sausage made (two coolers full) on the way down they decided to stop and fish the Willapa for steelhead. When they came back up to the truck, the two coolers were gone. It's a good thing they didn't catch them in the act or I could guarantee they'd be floating face down in the river.

I would have made some noise and sent lead their way anyway.

Wow, no kidding? That would really suck.

I watched someone park their rig next to mine way out in the woods once, I immediately dumped my orange vest behind a log and binoc'ed him from probably 500 yards.... The guy got out and glassed the area maybe six feet from my canopy on my truck. He then left. I saw him in the next drainage glassing for deer in multiple areas. I was just spooked from it as I would never approach someones rig unless I needed help....

This is why I haven't got any trail cams.... I know they'd get taken..... What loosers!!!

I caught 2 thugs hunting on my private lease this year.  One had taken a doe (Buck Only area).  I watched them from a distance got the sheriff on the line. He met them at the gate Posted no hunting/trespassing. Hit them both with a Big Game violation #1.  I filled trespass charges on them both since I lease the land.  They are thieves in my book.  I worked hard to get that lease in a great area.

Anyone know if I get points on the weighted scale for catching a poacher?

that sucks for all that to get jacked it all most sounds like some one watched you put it out there and then went shopping i hope he gets what he has coming.

Insulate your doors from the rest of the rig and hook a power inverter or battery powered fence charger to them.  Have a hidden disconnect switch so you can disable it when you need in.  Park over a mud puddle or damp ground, sit back and watch the fun!
