That is so *censored* its unreal. Could you imagine the confrontation if you and or you and buddies showed up and they were in the middle of doing it.
No doubt.

I had a friend who set up camp before season once, so he could reserve his spot, and it dissapeared.
He later found out that the Forest Service confiscated his tent and stuff because it was left unattended, and that practice is illegal.

Good idea. Might want to check with forest service.

Keep an eye out in Craigslist and the newspapers too. Someone is going to probably try and sell this stuff at some point. Sorry to hear that. Pretty *censored* of them.
That is a really good idea. My cousin had his truck stolen and stripped, sure as sh*t they pieces started showing up one by one on craigslist. No law enforcement necessary. ;)

Also think it's *censored*t that guys are going up a week in advance and setting up camp and leaving trying to claim a spot.
Post by: Caseyd on October 23, 2009, 11:51:20 PM
I'd like to know how long your camp was unattended? And for two days why it was unattended. A theif is right at the bottom of the food chain. Period.

yeah most of the guys i know set thier camp up the weekend before deer season and leave it through elk season. its alot easier then setting it up every weekend for a month.

Another issue that comes to mind is people that think they own real estate on public land.
We have hunted the top of Bald Mtn for many years and live locally. Everybody has a mission and some are sociable. We have seen great displays of stupidity and cheating. We quit a couple years ago because of bad few.
My wife, son and I were hunting first light and around 10 am we drove to a clearing on a numbered forest service rd. stopping to have a sandwich. A hunter approached 200 yds on the passenger side and another on the drivers side. He informed us that their large group from Seattle was camped there and we we be advised to leave. He stayed at the front fender of our truck and had his buddies shuttle beer to him by jeep from the tent. This could have turned ugly fast. When we left I wished them luck. I have no sympathy if that camp or any of their friends camp disappears.

Sako 223. If anyone makes any kinds of threats or tries to intimidate immediately call the Sheriff . They will come out and help you out. Please do not guys get away wit that kind of crap.
When I run into a holes that come over and hunt buy my house and trespass ( I caught a guy at 0700 hrs putting a stalk on my neighbor's posted property) and act like they own the land, a quick chat letting them know I am coming back with a Sheriff's Deputy changes their opinion really fast.

You're probably lucky nobody from your camp was there at the time. If they were crazy enough to pull this stunt, there's no telling what they would have done if somebody had walked in on them. I understand that you lost a lot of gear/money, but none of it is worth somebody getting hurt. And as much I hate to say it, that includes the thieves. :twocents:

Just curious why you think that's BS? I've set up elk camp a week early for years, who wants to miss the 1st day of hunting just to set up camp, we typically setup the weekend before season. We do it for a couple reasons and yes one reason is to stake claim to the spot we've been using for years but the other is time management.
I love the trail camera idea, I would make sure you use an infrared model so they don't steal it too. I think my camp will have a couple camera's in the future also.
Hope you get your stuff back, what a blow to your year...

Period.Would you rather everyone go up the day before or maby the day of opening day, and it be a free for all cluster fu#% We go up a week in advance and have for years never had anybody mess with our stuff luckily, but there is still plenty of spots to camp. Get over it.
