2 week soak on the wet side.

my camera was a stealth cam 430IR or something like that. It will be my 1 and only trail cam. Not gonna get another 1. It was about a half mile behind a gate and then 500 yards or so off the road in a completely random spot in the middle of the woods...not even a game trail there. I couldn't imagine anyone would just randomly walk up  on it and steal it. Funny the last thing I said to my father in law was that I hoped it didn't grow legs....

It is possible bear or elk attacked it and you didn't see it laying in the area? Both elk & bear can get testy with cameras quite frequently.

I thought about that and covered the area pretty well...unless they took off with it and carried it away, it was not laying in a 100 foot radius of the tree.
I probably could have looked a little more but I got frustrated and pissed and it was dumping rain.

Yeah, probably wasn't that then.

Well, sorry again. I wouldn't let it prevent you from getting another one. It's like Christmas every 2 weeks! Next time get further off the road and consider a security box.

 I am guessing I know approximate where you set it out at, I had some tweaker's hosing with my camera in the same area. Sorry to hear.

That really sucks - now i am thinking twice about getting one of these. Kinda answers my question on anoher thread about being able to lock them to a tree. You would think that would be one of the main design features to keep them from being stolen???

[jackelope]

you can definitely lock them to a tree.
I just didn't...which is stupid I guess.
There are lock boxes, bear boxes, cables, etc.

Big Foot found it.
