Have you ever had something hunting-related stolen?
I've heard plenty of stories about tree-stands, trail cameras, bows and guns or even deer being stolen, has this ever happened to any of you?
I became a member of the club no one wants to be a part of this past weekend. Some Jerk stole my trail camera off my own property!!! (This land has plenty of Posted signs) The camera was a Moultrie Digital, with battery and memory card, approx. $135 value. The money isn't what bothers me that much, it is the thought that somebody stole it off my land!!! It really made me think about some of the people we have walking around sharing this country with. To me, it is disgusting.
Since Ilast checkedthe camera on Sunday the 7th, which it rained all day and checked it again this past Saturday, gone! I think it was stolen during the week, either by a coon hunter, who got caught trespassing (picture taken of them) and decided to take it or by someone who just happened to see it walking the woods and took it.
I had the camera pad locked closed, so someone will have to cut the lock off, which may be hard to do, because of how tight the lock is to the camera, or they will have to break it open to get inside. Either that, or they just pitched it in a ditch or pond, hiding the evidence.
Hopefully, their conscious will get the best of them (if they have one) they will break into the camera, delete the pictures of themand put the camera back where it belongs. What would these people think ifthis camerawas some little kid's Christmas present that they stole?
