Ouch! My very first trail camera did that and it was on my own property so someone had to trespass to steal it.

Thankfully I haven't lost one since.

Luckily I did get mine back.

I have a new # 2 trail cam.
And I have a lock, and cable attached to this one.
Pictures to come, when the deer start showing up.
The 2nd camera is up, and running.

Here is it first picture.

Another pic.

Got back from my New Mexico elk hunt. Was very happy to end up with a decent 6x6 on the ground. He scored right at 310" gross and net 302".





Here's the start of the packout.



For size reference, I'm a pretty big guy, 6'2" and 230lbs.

Was some REALLY rough country and I'm still sore three days later.

Here's the truck on the way home. We hunted some rough stuff that no one must go back in because we still ended up finding some sheds this late in the year.



Here's the sheds we found.



My New Mexico mule deer hunt starts Saturday so hopefully I'll be posting up some pictures of something that will count toward the contest next week!

I posted a novel (literally) in the big game forum if you are interested in all the details.

That sounds like and looks like it was a great hunt. Minus the scrapes and blisters.

Got a nice mature mule deer in New Mexico this morning. That one will actually count for the contest. Rough scored him around 144" so after the .86 reduction for it being a mule deer it will count around 123" toward the contest. I'll try to get pictures and a final score posted up tomorrow. Logged 16 miles on the gps over the last 2 days.

Tired and happy for now.
