Default RE: Gotta luv trail cams...

I'm surprised that with this many trespasser's that nobody has seen anyone in his wood's.
Well, here's the deal...only 4 people are suppose to be hunting the property. The owner, myself, my wife, and another friend of the owner. My wife and I live an hour an 15 minutes away from the property, therefore...we can only go on weekends, and we have no Sunday hunting here. So, we are only in the these particular woods AT MOST 1 day a week. The owner works rough hours, and doesnt get much time to hunt before sunset, if at all. The owner's other buddy, only hunts when I'm not there for the weekend (usually). Most of the pics were taken in the early morning to late afternoon, when nobody was home, or in the woods. The hunting area is in a "gulley" also. You can't see down into the area from the house, so you wouldn't see anybody in the woods, even with orange on.

I was VERY surprised that with that much "traffic" on his property that the Cams are still there?!?
That's EXACTLY what I said! The one kid walked past BOTH cameras, AND NEVER KNEW THEY WERE THERE! Ya know, thinkin this was relatively private land, I did not go to the effort to hide the cameras. Geez, I mean....I put these cameras on trees no more than 5ft off the trails (old logging roads)...IN PLAIN VIEW! One of the guys, however, I think did see the camera a debated snatching it. We got three pics of him, all on the same camera. One at 0715hrs....HE EVEN GOT FLASHED...he had to know it was there. The other two were at 0810hrs and 0830hrs, pacing back and forth in front of the cam, but not looking directly at it.
