I come home, check my camera to find this. Someone spotlighting a elk on my property, I saw no evidence of a kill, and the video is too short to determine what really went on but im furious. My neighbor has been out of town and I feel like they accessed my property through his.
More cameras going up asap!

didn't see anything other than the spotlight hitting the tree or brush and a elk or deer backing away from it.

The point here is there should be absolutely no one in that meadow. And at 4am? I have alot of bucks and bulls on my property and I want to protect them from losers. I dont even hunt my property.

Definitely a bummer that your property got violated like that.

Is there a road with a view of your field nearby?
That's where I was going. The light doesn't move at all to follow the critters. I'm thinking someone was driving by on their way to work and saw some critters and wanted a better look. :dunno:

I can't seem to play the video, so I'm just throwing stuff out there.

It doesn't look like traditional "spotlighting" but it could still be something along those lines. The light looks to be originating from that little tree rather then shining on it.

Agree with above. Is there another trail cam over there? Even if it is Infrared, it will look like visible light on the cameras.
Yep. This is what I am thinking.

What are you gonna do if you catch them? Just curious.
Sounds like there isn't anybody to catch.
Wish I could see the video.
Post by: Rainier10 on October 07, 2016, 10:15:27 AM
Definitely a trail camera that was triggered by the elk walking by. No points for turning in a poacher here.The more I look at the video the more I think this might be a camera from the neighbors property. Hopefully the OP is over there this weekend and can investigate it a little and see if that is the case. I hope it is.

Um dude...does anyone else see the elk walking by that tree (left to right) that triggered the trailcamera on that tree to light up and start taking video...just like the trailcamera that's taking the video.
:yeah:.... :chuckle: :chuckle: I say House Cat!...... :chuckle: :chuckle: This could get good!....

10 acres huh? Do you have it fenced off? Maybe not but, do you at least have signs saying "No Trespassing" and "No Hunting"? If you don't have it clearly posted that there is no trespassing allowed then you might as well have a welcome sign according to WA state law.
This isn't exactly true. It is pretty clear in the game regs that private land in WA does not have to posted. It is up to the hunter to know whether they are on private or public land.

That's not true. In fact, the law specifically states the private timberland MUST be posted in order for a trespass to occur. Other lands must have signs of outward ownership, i.e. buildings, farming, fences, etc.

Does private property need to be posted in Washington State in order for trespass rules to be enforced?
No. If the land has indications of private ownership, such as buildings, fences, or signs, you cannot go onto the land without the landowner’s or tenant’s permission, if you go onto land despite seeing or being aware of No Trespassing signs, you can be cited for trespassing. If you trespass on private property that is not posted with signs or fenced, or is only sparsely posted with signs or fenced, and you refuse to leave the property when asked to do so by the property owner, you can be cited for trespass.

Ok guys, even though I knew there was no other camera down there I checked. Nothing. My neighbor is a elderly guy and prob has never even seen a game camera. Without broadcasting where my place is, I can say that for Hidden Valley, its undeveloped and theres not many houses near me. This post has gotten pretty funny, but the fact is I just wanted to post what evidence I had, and maybe remind folks its hunting season and the desperate folks are out there and willing to tresspass without any hesitation. My property borders a massive chunk of private land that has no buildings or structures on it and is very wild. I think I should mention, not a single one of my neighbors allows hunting on their land. I prob didnt even need to make a post but when I got home and saw it I was furious.
Im gonna put a few new cams up in some new areas and see what I can find, and also more signs. Ill update as i can, hopefully nothing else to share!!
How often do you check your cameras. Just because it is not there now doesn't mean there was not one there when the video was taken. It lines up too perfect to when the elk passed that tree where the light shines and does not move. It could be something else but sure looks like a camera. :twocents:
Do you have any daytime pictures from the camera? It would be interesting to see what we are looking at since the video is mostly black.
