Regardless, I still consider myself a genius!

You bring in cops in and off to jail they go.

I don't want the cops to find them, I want to find them.  In fact, once I've found them, I don't want anyone to ever find them.

dye the tent pink .that way most people wont take it and if some one dose .have some fly you around in a plane .hard to hide a pink tent.

The active RFID tags still need a radio within 500 feet. So that would not work. 

A better idea is to get a GPS device that you would put into a pre-sewn pocket.  Then when it gets hi-jacked you call a 1-800 number and they track it or the other you track it.  You bring in cops in and off to jail they go.

Why not use "The Spot" tracking device for people. Just turn it on and put it in tracking mode before you leave. If the tent is stolen just log on to the nearest computer (or call a buddy/wife etc..) and track it then. Have a hidden pocket to put it in.

OK, here's the really cool answer for this.

TRACE:DOG (www.tracedog.fr) has developed, in close collaboration with veterinarians, two GPS pet tracking devices for dogs. The TRACE:GPS is an assisted-GPS pet tracking device for GSM networks. The TRACE:GSM does not use GPS signals, but determines its position by mobile phone network triangulation. Both devices have a quad-band GSM modem incorporated. Via Internet you can see where your dog is on a variable-scale map. With your mobile phone, you can send an alarm signal to your dog's device and if your phone supports MMS technology, you will instantly receive a mapped location. You can also obtain the dog's location via a SMS text message or even via a voice server. TRACE:DOG is sold by veterinarians, pet shops and garden centers.

Here's the webpage:

I'm pretty sure this makes me a genius.

Couple of problems.....
1.  You have to have GSM service so if you have Verizon or Sprint you're outta luck.
2.  You have to be in an area that has cell service.

Personally I just can't understand how it is physically possible to steal another persons hunting camp.  I mean to do that, knowing someone with a rifle and who knows how to use it may return at any moment, you would have to have balls so big they would clank together when you walk and you wouldn't be able to walk more than 10 feet due to the size of them!

Lmfao!    That's is the funniest thing I've read in awhile. 

I never thought this was an issue for that reason.  Hope you catch them in the act and use them to weigh it down so the next guy can't move it.

[elkinrutdrivemenuts]

Maybe you could find someone to tag along for a fee....basically a camp babysitter that guards your stuff.  Too bad you can't just surround it with landmines.

What your thinking of is known as a wife. Sure she would keep it safe, but then you gotta deal with a wife in camp ; )

Staining your name and phone and the note are good ideas. I'll probably put em both into play this year.
I'd have to agree that a guy would have to have big balls to open someones tent w/smoke coming out of the chimney.

Nope, don't need big balls just the deranged behavior that comes with being a meth addict.  They'll do whatever it takes to get stuff to sell to buy more and damn the consequences.

From pianoman: Regardless, I still consider myself a genius!

You're a genius just because you didn't start that off with "irregardless."

[elkinrutdrivemenuts]

Well I don't do much hunting in trailer parks so I don't think
I'll see any meth addicts around.

[dannysdaddy]

The first thing that comes to mind is a few well positioned claymores.  point them away from your stuff of course so you dont mess up your fancy new tent!!!

[RightPlace-RightTime]

Can I ask,  What part of this state are you camping/hunting in to have to worry that much?  I have one also.  I hate thinking of it getting stolen.

We go to Montana and never worry about it.  I love that feeling.

Another subject that has me pissed is that my deer got stolen out of our camp one year.  hwy410 near whistlin jacks,  Well was like 21years ago. I was 14.  My dad was pissed, it was my deer to.

...or a motion sensor wired up to a good Caller with multiple dogs barking

[rosscrazyelk]

I have no solution but am sad this even has to be asked. I just don't get people sometimes

Unfortunately the meth addicts have wheels and roam.  I usually feel better about leaving my truck on the side of the road during hunting season than when scouting.  Last year I got to a trailhead that had a camp set up and the guy hopped in his truck and drove off for the day.  Leaving a camp would ride my nerves the whole time.  Maybe he had cameras or a lifesize cutout of Chuck Norris in his tent.  An option could be to leave a small stereo playing when you are away from the camp---put on the music from Deliverance or something.  I just picked up some trail cams that were on clearance for $25 that I might set up around my camp.
