Title: Thinking of trying the 101. Any suggestions
Post by: whackemstackem on November 24, 2013, 11:45:37 AM: I usually hunt the 101 unit early season but am thinking of trying it over Thanksgiving for a white tail. Can anybody tell me if the snow is gonna stop me or if many of the gates get shut in the area? Any information will help guys, thanks.

Post by: CAMPMEAT on November 27, 2013, 01:45:36 PM: Where and what has been stolen ? I haven't heard of anything and nothing has been in the paper.
Title: Re: Thinking of trying the 101. Any suggestions
Post by: whackemstackem on November 27, 2013, 10:38:21 PM: Is most of the theft while people are out hunting then? Man I have hunted up there for many years with no problems. Thanks for the warnings as Ill keep everything locked up. Thanks for the reports guys.

Myself and a few other guys have had SD cards stolen from our cameras.... but whoever the thief is left his very nice Leica Rangefinder at the base of one of the cameras he stole an SD card from.... score a victory for the good guys :tup:... hopefully the loser learns his lesson and decides to be a better human being.

Post by: bullcanyon on November 28, 2013, 08:11:08 PM: That's too bad. I actually had my first person on camera yesterday and the ol boy just took a look and walked on by. Still a few good gents out there.

Post by: CAMPMEAT on November 29, 2013, 05:39:23 PM: We have snow now. Hopefully that will help.....
Title: Re: Thinking of trying the 101. Any suggestions
Post by: Seabass on December 01, 2013, 09:01:06 PM: Unfortunately the snow makes the stealing even easier. It's not too hard to follow a guys tracks to his set up and steal anything he finds. These thefts aren't going to show up in the local paper. Who are you going to report it too and what good would it do anyway? I know of at least 4 cameras and 2 stands that have been stolen in 101 since the opener.
