the next time the cam triggers and the block is gone.
for two more weeks, the deer still come looking though.

good thing my cam was in a bear/thief lockbox and bolted-cabled to the tree.!!
cam was camoflauged with moss, sticks around the box and tree too.

Bird tripped the cam 9 minutes after this 3 image series of the guy. Block was gone then.
this fella reappeared on another cam down the trail aways.
another game cam 80 yards away was messed with something fierce. We got this guy messing with my partners Reconyx cam from another high viz positioned cam, acting as a security cam overlooking the Reconyx that was messed with. But it remained bolted-cabled to the tree. he was using the branch he wields in my photos to smash at the other cam.
he never reappeared in the other 3 cams after this one day, Feb 9.
we had a total of 5 cams spread out.
Pulled them all today, March 26.
a lil- spike blacktail, two days before. You can see the block then.

I have had salt blocks and trophy rock snagged by people too very stupid if anything you would think they would start hunting the same spot instead of taking it? with 50 lbs salt licks only $10 doesnt make sence
I would guess he already hunts the spot and was pissed to see someone else put an arsenal of game cameras in the area.
Post by: MAVsled on March 28, 2011, 08:42:50 PM
possible. he may rifle hunt this particular area. Cams were spread out over 600 yards along the treeline, as the crow flies.
We only bowhunt here, usually in treestands and have never spotted another archer in the last 3 years.

Not trying to defend, but was there heavy rain? My salt lick was ruined by rain, and the only thing left was a red stain on the plants.
In 3 min? that would be one huge rain storm!! :dunno:
The salt block is the least of the issue. The fact he tried to damage the other cam with his stick would have me pissed!

Too bad they don't make cameras with nitro glycerin in them....then the problem would fix itself :chuckle: :chuckle:http://burglarbomb.com/AB-2000.aspx (http://burglarbomb.com/AB-2000.aspx)
They make this. Picture this in a case mounted to a tree. When they remove it they get hit. Or set it up so when they take it home and open it up it gets them.

Stealing a salt lick and breaking into a truck is like apples and oranges. I belive breaking into a truck is a felony. You can use deadly force, stealing a salt lick isn't. Anybody correct me if I'm wrong. I'd still beat the crap out of the salt lick thief and shoot the felon breaking into my truck... :twocents:

May not be 'correct', but I'm w/ you :chuckle:
Post by: MADMAX on March 31, 2011, 11:23:14 AM
I have been broken into and its a bitch not being able to leave your truck at a gate to hunt, that was my point, totally agree on the as*whoop, if you shoot someone breaking into a truck you're the one they are going to take to jail, may want to re-think that one.
Generally you can only usually deadly force to protect life, not property.

Maybe I'm on someone's trail cam. At least I wasn't scratching myself at the time.
Oh man... Everytime I think I'm on camera out in the woods, I scratch and sniff. Pee too! Right next to the salt block! :chuckle:

I don't care what internet lawyers think. It's my stuff and the criminal will have to deal with the consequences. Too many people give criminals rights. As far as I'm concerned criminals don't have any rights when they're breaking into a $30,000 truck or your house, raping a women, child molesters etc. I have NO sympathy for criminals, period.:yeah:

How can protecting your property be considered " if you act like a criminal you're going to be prosecuted like one ? " I'm not the criminal. That's the problem with society today, the honest citizen doesn't have any rights. This state needs the " Castle Law. "its real easy....you can't kill someone for just breaking into your truck...you can't use deadly force when protecting PROPERTY...if you do you're gonna get prosecuted....now if you're in, on or around the property that is being criminalized and you feel iminate life threatening danger by all means use what ever force is necessary to protect YOURSELF...not your property...I feel your pain brother as far as criminals vandalizing/breaking into your truck but you need to be aware that using deadly force to protect only "property" is gonna land you in prison. The honest citizen does have rights when it comes to SELF DEFENSE, or the defense of other PEOPLE (unfortunately that's about all we have) but not when using deadly force to protect PROPERTY. Not trying to get into an argument with you about what's right or wrong (cuz i feel just as frustrated as you do) i just want you to be aware of what the consequences are before you feel the need to use "deadly force" on a property crime

See, this kind of crap is what gets under my skin. Chances are your not going to shoot some arse for breaking into your truck, maybe pull a shotgun and scare the piss out of him and hold him hostage until the cops come. But just the same, this attitude is why so many anti-gun activist are out there trying to take away our rights. Because people make these stupid choices then try and defend themeselves with an this type of attitude. This may work in some cases, depending on the judge, jury and defense lawyer but like someone else said...do you really want to take that chance and spend all that time away from your family, racking up all those legal bills and lose your job.. over what? Your truck?? Thats why you have insurance, I would hope.
My truck has been broken into twice in the past two years, the first nothing taken the thief was scared off by the alarm. The second time, my fault I left the truck unlocked. They got two GPS units and a small amount of cash. Now I have security cameras, four of them watching the front of my house. Oh yea, got my GPS unit back(one at least) *censored* tried to sell it at a local pawn shop after it was reported stolen. They got the *censored* on video trying to pawn it. That was my justice.

I think the bottom line here is don't be stupid. You don't shoot at anyone unless your life is actually in danger. This isn't the old west. If you do then you are no smarter than the idiot that decided to break into the truck. We want to keep our right to own and bear arms, use your heads.

You remember that hand gun that you bought at the yard sale several years ago and decided you didn't really need it after all and it has been sitting in your safe for the last 5 years. Makes a good drop gun doesn't it????am I missing something here??? when did we become a society of people committing felonious, life altering crimes(manslaughter/murder) for someone-meth head or not-breaking into a truck??? what the hell are you thinking?? Hey I've got a great idea....why don't i leave a written account of how i'm gonna kill someone who's committing a property crime against me and plant evidence to make my actions justified?!!? Do you not think that law enforcement and WDFW monitor this site and God forbid if something similar to this ever happened to you it could be used against you in a court of law?!!? I'm no victim's advocate but just realize everything you type out on this site may be an admission of guilt.
