Stolen from Again!!
 

Well it happened to me again. Back in September I had my trail cam stolen. I went to a different property sum 70 miles away to hunt tonight and sure enough if my #$@!%$# stand is'nt gone. Private land no less. I guess some things will never change. Three yrs ago I had my climber stolen sometime between 10 and 12 as I walked back to eat lunch. Whatta do...thanks I just had to vent.

Man I hate to hear it for ya. That would have pissed me off also, maybe one day you will find out who it is.

Been there and had it happen. The bad part of it all.... it's probably a hunter that did it. Low class, scum sucking thief. May his wife leave him for the junk man.

That's why I have two ladder stands that haven't even touched a tree yet. I see it all the time where someone leaves their stand there, assuming no one will even see it. It's like leaving your keys in your car in the middle of the country. Maybe no one sees it, but it's all to easy to just get in and drive off.

Sorry for the loss though, didn't mean to come off as a jerk or anything. I had a radio stolen out of my boat once, I know how it feels.

I hate thieves!!!!!! Sorry to hear about your loss of property! The thief will get what is coming to him, bad karma is coming his way![:'(]

I just don't know what drives people like that, I really don't. Stands and cameras, cameras and stands.......it's amazing every year.

My only suggestion would be if it's private land NOT owned by you , to check with the landowner and make sure a family member etc might not have removed it thinking you were trespassing. I have seen instances of this and the guys got their stuff back with an apology.

If not, I gotta agree with the others, nothing worse than a scumbag theif "fellow hunter"[:@]

Nothing worse than a Lower than Whale Crap, Scum Sucking Thief!
They better make sure their Blue Cross, Blue Shied is paid up if I ever catch one packing my stuff out of the woods!

its sad that we have to deal with it!

RE: Stolen from Again!!
 

that stinks when that happens , are you locking it to the tree ? you got to be a real scum bag to come and cut the lock off to steal it. On my hang on stands i use a special
bolt with a star bit to drive it in to the tree where it is hidden . it is to close to the stand to bolt cut and its case hardened so it would be very difficult to saw off . I havn't lost one yet doing this

RE: Stolen from Again!!
 

All these stolen items every year and I have never heard of someone actually catching someone walking out with their possessions. I know I would love to be that someone

That particular one was not locked, but that only keeps away the honest man. They tried to steal the ladder in the same tree (stands were set to film out of) but they quickly relized that if they undid the rachet strap they were going to fall 20 ft. so they left it loose. Good thing we were trying to get in it during the daylight, in the dark things could have been ugly.

RE: Stolen from Again!!
 

You are right about the locks. Masterlocks and the like are about a 15 second job for me, but I have NEVER stolen anything. It chaps my butt that people do this to one another. If you ever talk to a lot of these people, they feel "entitled" somehow. It will never cease to amaze me.

I feel your pain...Years ago I had an API Baby Grand stolen, I went to climbers...

A few year ago, another propery I had 2 feeders stolen, knew who did it, because I could track his 4-wheeler tracks beside the road...Sheriff didn't want to follow up on...Three years later, my feeder was in his yard, he was cleaning out his shed...I went home, got my cam and recorded, called the Sheriff and asked if he wanted to retrieve or have me...He picked it up, took the guy to court and the crooked judge and lawyer got him off...He produced a receipt from a pawn shop an hour away for the feeder....Sure, feeder ended up 1/2 mile away from where I'm hunting...

I don't leave anything in the woods anymore...If I want to put out corn it goes in a pipe feeder, or I spread on the ground...I have purchased a 4-wheeler and my climber stays on it....

Good Luck with it...
