If you choice to keep your stand and camera in the timber take a black marker and write on them "Smile for the camera" On the camera write "Sorry I meant the other camera" It may only keep the half way honest people away but it may make the idiots think twice.

I love this! Let 'em think that they are being watched by another camera. I must say that I disagree with the suggestions to move your stand/ install it the day of your hunt/ etc. This is your property damn it! You have worked hard to set it up, scout the deer movement and plan your path of entry/exit. Now two guys are going to throw a monkey wrench into your whole plan just before the season starts. That is total "BS". Notify the local authorities of the confrontation and mention both your stand and the camera in the report. Get a good chain or cable lock and if anything happens to your equipment in the future, let your homeowners insurance cover it.
In the future, you should have "gone along with them" and said that they could squirrel hunt....gotten their names and License # so that they were "on record", and then after you had their info, tell them that they were S.O.L. for trespassing before getting permission.
