thanks guys i am pretty sure i know who did it. the guy who has the stand 30 yards away. he hunts the same farm i do and would have accessed that stand via the feild. which would have put him walking past my cam. it is odd that mine is gone but his stand and the cam (that can be seen from the feild) is still there. i was told that the guy does some iffy things so. plus my buddy hunted there wed night and ran into the guy and he said he was gonna hunt that stand on thursday. lots of clues that point to him.
