I did find clean plastic where the lock went through. I doubt a bear could have done such a clean job. However, I have pics of a bear at that location. lol

Maybe they think its suxs that they cant take a hike without someones game cam taking pics?If you leave them out they will get stolen/destroyed,if you dont want this to happen dont leave them out on public property.They are illegal here after the hunting season starts and Im in favor of the new law,if I find one out after the seasons start your going to be talking to a game warden if you want it back.

First, I try to put them where there is no human traffic, and I know if I don't, I'm taking chances. It's too bad people will take license to screw with something that doesn't belong to them. I hate when I get pics of people. It a waste of battery.

So with that mentality... the next time YOU set up camp on public or natl forest and you leave it unattended... it would be okay for someone just to use it? same logic dude... its not your camera..u didnt buy it the tree just didnt grow it...somebody had to buy it with there hard earned money for some tool bag to take it

One solution is to place a second camera high in a tree looking at the first cam. Then hopefully you will get some pictures of the thief. The satisfacton of catching the mutts is worth the price of the second camera. I would probably just use a bad camera as the "bait".

I checked a camera last weekend and found that it had been messed with. The guy saw one camera and pointed it at the tree tops, but didn't see the second a couple hundred yards down the same trail :-$ . I count myself VERY lucky, and I got it the heck off that tree. I take some responsibility for it because it was hard to miss, but I figured that since it is private land I wouldn't have a problem... wrong! I'll be considerably more selective with my placement next year.
Got some great pics of him, some nearby land owners recognize him... and I'll have no problem "chatting" with him about it.
