thief caught on camera!!

[MAVsled]

upper Nooch valley. This guy takes my mineral block. The pics were a succession of 3 and then 3 minute pause.
the next time the cam triggers and the block is gone.
for two more weeks, the deer still come looking though.

#50lb mineral block.
good thing my cam was in a bear/thief lockbox and bolted-cabled to the tree.!!
cam was camoflauged with moss, sticks around the box and tree too.

What the F**K, who steals a 50 # mineral block. I thought I'd heard everything, but that takes the cake! Hopefully he hurt his back packing it out.

[Alan K]

Probably just went and hid it somewhere, I know I wouldn't pack out a 50 lb $10 block of salt!

Good thing you had your cam boxed up and camo'd!

[JimmyHoffa]

I'd be wanting to get a concrete block and cover it with salt/mineral.  Or a box...with a badger or a snake in it.  It would be too much fun to mess with that guy.  He's probably got a spot a couple hundred yards away.

I agree with Hoffa this would be a good time to screw with this A-hole.

Whats he packin?

[ORCA_SIX]

That is pretty F'ed up. That guy is no young kid either. Think he would know better. 

[Devinshoe]

What a low-life ! Who steals a salt block ? Hope he broke his back or his ankle.

In defense of the so called thief. I NO  evidence of theft only that that the lick is gone 11 days later.   

[TW GUIDES]

Wow, NOT COOL!

[remington300mag]

AMAZING! Just shows these days people will steal about anything they can get their hands on! If not just for the sake of stealing something!

my partners (2) and I searched the area for over an hour, looking to see if the block was moved. Our search covered a circular area for 150 yards.
Bird tripped the cam 9 minutes after this 3 image series of the guy. Block was gone then.

this fella reappeared on another cam down the trail aways.
another game cam 80 yards away was messed with something fierce. We got this guy messing with my partners Reconyx cam from another high viz positioned cam, acting as a security cam overlooking the Reconyx that was messed with. But it remained bolted-cabled to the tree. he was using the branch he wields in my photos to smash at the other cam.
he never reappeared in the other 3 cams after this one day, Feb 9.

we had a total of 5 cams spread out.
Pulled them all today, March 26.

a lil- spike blacktail, two days before. You can see the block then.

I have had salt blocks and trophy rock snagged by people too very stupid if anything you would think they would start hunting the same spot instead of taking it? with 50 lbs salt licks only $10 doesnt make sence

[CAMPMEAT]

Hate to say it, but anything left in the woods is fair game for trouble. I wouldn't leave any trail camera in the woods.
