BF Grant Camera Theft

[DannyW]

Oddly, I have never had a camera stolen on public land. But, I have had three stolen off my own property over the last few years.

Same here. Over the years I have had two stands stolen, and at least 4-5 cameras that I can immediately recall, all on private land leases. Go figure.

I`m doing some pondering and serious contemplation on writing some of that stuff down. Thank you for your kind words.

Good. Then I'll prod you periodically to keep you motivated.

Mount your camera up above eye level and off to the side of the likely approach path. Use a camo cable lock. Put a small lock or ty-rap on the door (if possible) to prevent theft of the SD card. Pla a couple or three leafy branches around the camera to break up its outline, but not block its view of your target area.

I’d imagine the scum of all scum runs rampant on public land…I’d expect that to happen

When you think you saw the dumbest comment, here is this one. Most people who hunt public land is good people. That is most people but not all

Only 1 thief hunting public. Everyone else is just trying to get there stuff back.

My comment referred to the “that is most people BUT NOT ALL (them is your words, read ‘em slowly….)now, sounds like you must agree with me. Who’s dumb?

I’d still go with you.

$12 and you'd still have a camera

I use these. I assume they twisted it off which would have broken the back plastic holes it went through, unless they cut it off. I've been using cameras on public about 3 to 4 years now and this is the first stolen camera.

I usually won’t leave one out for more than 2 weeks, I’ve been blessed because I put cameras out on B F GRANT several times, they’re not leaving an SD card because they want to see what is on it

The comment about the SD card was just a joke but if thats all they wanted they should have just taken the card

I went down to get mine this past weekend. It was still there, but I hide mine so well that it is sometimes hard for me to find them. That is the trick.

Lol I knew it was a joke just ashamed that a hunter would stoop so low to steal, I get following someone’s trail markers ( not deliberately trying to find them) and I’ve found cameras with a corn pile on the ONF about 60 yards behind the main tree I sit in, just why to mess with someone else’s property is ridiculous.

Yes sir, I’ve found corn with a climber at the base of a tree 30 yards away on ONF before. Really messed up a good spot for everyone.

Did you at least have it cabled and locked ? I buy the cheapest I can find and still lock them up. What I'd REALLY like to do is get an old broken camera and rig it with an explosive of some sort so it blows up in their face as soon as they open it. Or, fill it full of Fentanyl and when they open it they're done. Have a little note inside the camera that says "If you hadn't messed with it, you'd still be here" But, stuff like that is frowned upon.

Woah… that turned rather dark quick.
