He obviously has a spot close by and figures you're stealing "his" elk from his bait station.
It's the battle of the baiters!

He should be lathered up like an old mare just getting to your bait :chuckle:

That's low. Had my bow sling lifted from my bike this am. Empty....but still ticks me off. Anyone know the guy?
I'm surprised they didn't steal your bike too. You were the first rig in?

Guess I got lucky. Bikes were laying down in the brush. It was a hunter for sure.

You win two internets.

Side note...
I found a 50# salt block about 75-100 yards behind one of my farm cameras yesterday. Surely no ill intent as it was set out for cattle, but I can't help but wonder who's hitting the block behind my camera. Wish I brought an extra camera with me to set up on it. The cattle are gone for the year.

Yet another good reason for using bags of loose salt. Would have been awesome to see him try and pick a pile of salt up off the ground.
:yeah: :chuckle:

You call that prison soap. Harder to pick up.

It would be funny if you could find your salt with his cam over it. Blow up the pic of him stealing and hold the pic if front of his cam.

For you legal types on here, doesn't this seem like a bigger deal than we're making it? I mean in Washington aren't there additional penalties for theft while carrying a firearm?

I’m not a legal type but this looks like simple theft to me, not robbery. Theft of a $10 block of salt isn’t exactly a felony.

Maybe he thought it was abandoned? If he picked up a 5$ bill in the woods, would that be theft with a firearm? I'm sure it was someone elses money

If he thought a salt block sitting in the woods was abandoned, he's an idiot. A $5 bill laying on the ground is obviously lost.
legally, he can pick up trash in the woods.
Another angle I haven't seen mentioned is perhaps this is open range area and one way they get cattle off range is pull the salt. Now there's so many bait piles and salt licks around that it's much harder to pull cattle off range....
then we see threads about cattle not being off range by hunting season

If that's on public property, it is the price you pay for sharing the land with your fellow citizens and "sportsmen." Public shaming is the only arguably legal remedy (not condoning libel).
I don't bait or leave stands on public land, in part, because I don't trust people to keep their greasy ****-skinners to themselves. And there are some desperate and despicable types out there. See, the news story about two brave souls who stole a tablet device from a wheelchair-bound epileptic in public, in broad daylight, under camera surveillance.

What if it was a trail camera that he took? Could he claim it was okay to take because he thought it was trash?If he thought a salt block sitting in the woods was abandoned, he's an idiot. A $5 bill laying on the ground is obviously lost.

If it is on public land? I'd bet that block ain't that far away? Maybe you need to go reclaim your block? This could turn into an interesting reality TV show! Battle of the Baiters... :chuckle:
