My buddy just bought a Game Cam, set it up on a trail on state land. A few day's later it was gone. I told him to camo it but I guess he didnt do a good enough job. How low can you get, steal a man's huntin gear[:@] [>:] [&o]

That sucks! It seems like each year there are more and more guy getting trail cams and tree stands stolen. I hope you guys find out who stole it.

Hi,
I feel your pain, as I've had things stolen as well. I don't mean to throw salt in the wound, but it wasn't legal to leave personal property on the tree on state land anyway. His property may not have been stolen, but "confiscated" by the local warden or ranger. I know that several times per year here in central Wisconsin, they go to the woods for the purpose of removing illegally left tree stands. He's kind of in a catch 22, because if he calls the warden and he has the cam, he risks receiving a citation, which would probably cost more than the value of the cam.

I totally understand how you feel. I had a game cam stolen a year and a half ago. It was in February for heaven's sakes. Who the heck would be out then?

Some folks are just horrible and have no respect.

Thats only a small taste of how low people will go. I am uneasy about putting mine on private land and would never consider putting it on public land. Not sure if it will detract anyone but I take an engraver and write my name and phone number across the front of it. At least that way you have a way of IDing it if it is ever recovered.........dabow

I know what you feel as well as your friend, some people just don't know where to draw the line. My friends stand got stolen, I was borrowing it for my Private Land hunting area, and someone took the Gorilla Stand, Climbing Sticks, Realtree EZ Hanger, the locks were cut that were holding the stand and sticks to the tree. Now I have to pay my friend back for the stand. I was piss**..........!

i know what hes going through..ive had2 cam trakkers and 1 deer camstolen,,, all were cabled to the tree. the guy actually took the time to go get bolt cutters and come back.and this is on PRIVATE land. my christmas wish this year is for me to be on my way to check my cams and see a guy trying to steal one.

I had a Lone Wolf stand stolen. That was costly! It also waslocked but again someone went out of thier way to get bolt cutters to cut the cable! This was also on private land. When I got to my tree I thought I must be at the wrong one when I did'nt see my stand, but I knew this was the tree! What a sick feeling it was!! Some people just do'nt give a crap!

dude i know exactly how you feel. a friend of mine and i put one out on our private land and someone stole it. i would like to know how someone could go that low!!!! [:@][:@][:@]

I have heard of people putting notes inside their cameras that read something like this.

If you find this camera and have not found the other 4, then I probably have you on film stealing this one. I will press charges so please leave it alone.

I doubt that this would work every time but it might be worth a try and there is always room inside the case for a note like this. If someone thinks they might get caught it could make all the difference in the world. I also think that engraving your name on the case is an excellent deterrent to theft.
