Sorta funny to read this, I was having the same problem on my dad's land last season. But pretty sure I gothim back. Trail cams are great inventions. I had my stand set in a set of two trees growing around 10ft apart. I set my stand in one, around 15ft and used tree steps in the other and put nothing but a trailcam, pointed directly at head level out of my stand, then took the steps out so he couldn't steal it. Then posted his pic in all of the fav spots in town. No facemask, or anything.
