What kind of cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey *censored* finds a trail camera 6 miles in a forest service road then 4 miles up a 4wheeler/Jeep trail and 200 yards off the trail, 20 miles from the nearest town, and takes the SD card and 4/8 batteries out of it?! If you are the culprit of this in gmu 101, I hope your kids have warts and you go blind in the next 6 months!!!!

Probably not, but could it have been a bear? If it was human, hope karma gets them.
I’ve never met a black bear who had the skills to remove the sd card and 4/8 batteries but leave the camera on the tree

Or the forest service employee that had pictures of being to only person in 2 weeks on a claim that had a camera missing, but because did not have pictures of him actually taking the camera everything was circumstantial. Feel for your loss and frustration. Makes you want to load a dummy camera with an exploding dye pack of permanent florescent green dye.

Crap that even beats where someone came in with either a Sawsall or a hand saw and cut the bolts that had the lock box secured to the tree and took the whole shebang.

Holy moly, anyone who’s willing to go through all that is a thief all the way to the core and deserves to be punished. I’ve thought about putting another camera directly above pointing downward but you’d just get pics of the top of someone’s head or a blurry pic of a guy in a hoody. I’d rather dig a 10 foot deep pit right in front of the camera covered with tree limbs but I have a feeling our pansy ass court system would frown upon that

And if his flashlight died how did he find the camera? Don’t make excuses for thieves

Only if the pit was not deep enough..... :rolleyes:

I have posted this story before, I think. A few years ago, fairly high in the Idaho mountains, along a fairly well known hiking trail, I had hung a camera, secured to a tree with lag bolts and a bear box, secured with a cable. I wasn't able to check it for about 15 months. When I finally went there (3 hours from the nearest town, another 2 hours in hiking), I found my camera spot. Some dirt bag had broken the cable, took the camera, but left the bear box. Coup-de-grace was the Snickers package that they kindly left in my bear box. Sorry, you did not impress me that day.

But in all seriousness, that’s crap that they stole those items from you. Sorry for your luck.

They wanted to see what's on your camera.
Or the old that camera is in my hunting spot.
Or both.
Alot of people say it's rude to hunt where others are actively hunting.It doesn't hurt my feelings at all.
The game has changed ,I very rarely change my hunting plans based off how many other hunters are in an area.

You can bank on the fact at some point he will be back. Place a cam higher up next time.So some poor dude, trying to hunt on public, is going to get jumped and harassed?

This does not justify the action...but if it were someone that was so protective of a specific area (territorial) they would have likely taken the entire cam. People that have the mindset that a piece of public land is theirs and they have "staked it out" are usually pretty brazen when it comes to protecting it.....at least in my run ins with these types.
None the less it sucks it happened but on the bright side...they didn't take the camera.

There was a guy on YouTube that kept having someone trespassing on private property after being warned and set up a dye pack with a hidden camera. Pretty funny actually. I am sure it took a very long time to clean everything up. Looked like it got all over the rifle and hunter.
I thought about doing something like this but I lack the know how
