So, I went back home and printed up a nice little note in a zip lock with a pen. It said: "If you want your camera back and promise not to trespass anymore write your address here and I'll mail it to you".
I think that was more than fair.
Went home and called it a season. Between health and work, I sure hope next year goes better. 4 hours does not a deer season make!

But, in seriousness, it sounds like maybe he did not know it was private? Or is it all fenced and posted?
It seems crazy to me that someone would go to all that work on a property they knew was private!

My bad- PMing you my address now.You must not own private property.. ha. People have serious balls.. my land is gated with over 15 signs around every possible entry. Yesterday there was a set of two tracks in the snow walking right around the gate. I will prosecute to the fullest if I catch them..

Cant blame you for that. People need to learn to respect land owners! Cant tell you how many animals Ive passed on because I didn't have permission on a certain piesce of property at a certain time. Including a couple dandy bulls on property that Ive had ongoing permission to hunt but just neglected to check in before season.

There is really no excuse not to know nowadays. Ignorance is not a reasonable defense. Even the poorest person can walk to the library and get online and look up a county assessor map if they cant afford a few bucks for hunt on x software.

I don't think it's ignorance in most cases, I think they know it's private and just don't care.
Oh i agree. Just responding to the dude who seens like he wants to use ignorance as a possible defense for the scumbags. But i do think the majority of tresspassers know damn good and well what theyre doing. And the ones who dont can pound sand, cayse like i said, theres no valid excuse to not know whos land youre on.

I’m super diligent about using OnX.
But I have been in places that I’m 1000 percent sure it was public and had a neighboring landowner telling me it was private. And I have been in places where OnX said it was public and I started to get the feeling it was private and left. I later confirmed it was private and OnX was wrong.
I’m not using ignorance as a defense. I’m giving some of mankind the benefit of the doubt. Shame on me, I guess?
It just seems odd to me that someone would haul minerals onto property they knew was private and setup a (what sounds like unlocked) trailcam. Maybe that’s because their behavior is so inexplicable. Or maybe it’s just because I haven’t been burned by people with evil intentions enough to just assume everyone out there is a premeditated scum bag.

By the way. By state law it is not the owners responsibilty to post their land. It is the hunter, biker, hiker or who ever to know private from public. @bigtex maybe he could shed some light on this subject to. Nice job on the OP. I am sure I wouldn't have handled it that way.

It kind of is the property owner's responsibility to post the property or fence it or make sure it looks used. The law probably needs changed since it is so easy these days to figure out who owns property.

The "big deal" to me is that I payed for and continue to pay taxes on the land where I live with the expectation of privacy from people I don't know filming me, my family, or even my livestock. I don't put up cameras on other people's property without asking and expect to be treated the same. If you're feeling left out, just say so and we'll set up a few cameras around your yard. We won't be looking directly at your house, but I will know when you go outside, how you are dressed and what you are doing at the time.
That's my "big deal".

We are 3 miles from national forest and there is no public land closer than that. It just sucks, no way I would do that to someone on their land.Amen.. stereotypes just don’t appear from nothing

I have noticed over the years that there is a tendency for some city folks to look at chunk of land and just assume it must be open since there's no posting ever 10' on it, or it's covered in trees. It just never occurs to someone who was raised and lives in an apartment or postage stamp size lot in Tacoma that anything over 10 acres can still be someone's home. Ditto with unfenced hay fields and Christmas tree farms.

You have to admit that some land is surrounded by public and not posted or fenced this land needs to be posted or it would be fair to assume that the owner of the land is ok with people recreating on it. Some land is obvious even without a fence or posting but there is some weird stuff out there.
putting a trail cam on some ones property is wrong period.
I personally stay as far away from private land as I can and I use OnX to do so. I have had some situations though over the years where landowners were upset and I did not even know that I was in the wrong. One time we asked permission to go pheasant hunt some farmland. We were granted permission from a nice lady. Then some guy came down the road and threatened to blow my brothers head off and called us piece of $%^ west siders and all kinds of stuff. We told him we asked that gal in that house right there and he told us she didn't own the land we were on. It put a real bad taste in my mouth because the last thing I want to do is trespass. Another time in MT I obtained permission then the neighbor came to run us off, I think because he wanted to hunt it. We went back and checked with the landowner and he told us that we were on his land and go ahead again he would call the neighbor. We chose to move on and find something different. All the while nothing was fenced or posted. I don't pheasant hunt much more because of this. I love chasing Chukar on public land never worrying about what land I'm on.

I showed up just a little late on purpose and rolled up in my fully marked patrol vehicle, blocking him in and walked over with the camera in hand and said "do you still want to report a theft?" After picking up his jaw from the dirt, he explained he had permission from his "buddy" to hunt the land next to mine and did not realize he had crossed over to my land. I asked him if his buddy's last name was Weyerhaeuser since that's the land that borders mine. He sort of ran out of ideas at that point. His two friends that got out of his truck when I rolled up with my headlights on seemed to loose interest in the whole affair and went inside the market while him and I had a polite but firm conversation about respecting land owners rights. I wonder why they came along in the first place?
I'm guessing that might be the end to his camera trespassing escapades, at least on my patch of dirt.
Wish I had a body cam on. You could hear the steam leaking out of his ego.

Thats a funny story, I wonder why he had his friends get out with him too though. I imagine he will reconsider his actions going forward though haha

Why is this such a big deal. Someone comes on your property, takes a buck and leaves. You never even know so no harm no foul. What does taking one deer hurt?You must be trolling. No?

I think it's safe to say he just never saw this coming and had absolutely nothing ready regarding a "Plan B".
I'm sure once he was down the road a ways he told his backup "He's just luck I didn't kick his ..."

Finally got a phone call, then got chewed out. He said I "stole" the camera from him and would call the cops on me unless I hand delivered it; Fair enough. He agreed to meet me at Brenda's Market at 7pm by the U-Haul trucks. So far so good.
I showed up just a little late on purpose and rolled up in my fully marked patrol vehicle, blocking him in and walked over with the camera in hand and said "do you still want to report a theft?" After picking up his jaw from the dirt, he explained he had permission from his "buddy" to hunt the land next to mine and did not realize he had crossed over to my land. I asked him if his buddy's last name was Weyerhaeuser since that's the land that borders mine. He sort of ran out of ideas at that point. His two friends that got out of his truck when I rolled up with my headlights on seemed to loose interest in the whole affair and went inside the market while him and I had a polite but firm conversation about respecting land owners rights. I wonder why they came along in the first place?
Wish I had a body cam on. You could hear the steam leaking out of his ego.
Wow! Best story ever....from the way you left the message for him to the final twist!
LMAO...was he a west sider?? :chuckle:

He is, but not from a major city. I saw where he got arrested for driving suspended last month; Oopsie!

Make a bunch of these signs where the most trespass traffic occurs.

Setting a man trap can end up causing all sorts of jail time and civil lawsuits.
I'm not going to do something that puts me in with my past "customers".
