I went out yesterday to set up my cam. I also saw someone put a stand in a tree where i have a platform stand built. I searched the woods for other stands but did not find any more stands. I know this area very well and it is public land. I know i take the risk of getting it stolen.

So I put it out yesterday, and come back today with my SD card stolen from it. It had great pictures of bucks from another area. Now when they look at it they are going to hunt my back up spot super hard i suppose.

When i thought back on it today i remember seeing a blue pick up the pulled in down the dirt road as i left yesterday. I truly think it was this guy who messed with my camera, and put a stand in in the same tree where MINE is!!!!

I have no solid proof but i really just want to take his stand off, lay it at the bottom of the tree, and hunt out of my platform, cause it was there first!!!

I am also thinking about doing a stake out type thing before deer season comes in. Set up my camera near his stand (very obviously placed), climb up in a tree with my camo on and wait. I will probably do this on a Saturday when he will likely be out.

This **** just pisses me off. How have you caught people who have stolen your gear?
