I'd call the police first, DNR second, and the local newspaper third if the first two calls don't produce anything
The third call tends to get results pretty quickly
Local agencies are always trying to aviod negative press, and if you have pictures, time data, and tire tracks to back it up - it will fly sky high in the newspaper.

I agree, but when talkng to the police I would drop a hit you are going to the news both local TV and paper next. That will let them know how serious you are. Then I would follow through with it and contact the local newpaper. Its only fair that other hunters around you know who they are dealing with. Then after that I would contact the DNR, be as friendly as you can be but stand firm at the same time and demand that this guy be fired and let them know that you are in the process of pressing charges. Guys like this are no better than poachers in my book and in most cases they really are poachers. Think about it if this guy would stoop low enough to be a thief then what would stop him from thinking he's above the law of poaching.

Don't be suprised if they find some law that you are breaking! It's hard to fight the law - even if they are wrong.
The thing that I'm wondering is why he would do whatyou said he did. I'm not doubting you. Like the police would say " what is his motive"

The DNR are like Nazi's they do what ever they want. I talked to a cop here a few years ago who was shining in his cruiser and he got pulled over by the DNR and the warden was going to right him a ticket but his boos told him to drop it. Take it to the district attorny and the local news

. DNR is a term I have never heard out of someones mouth, just on here. But I would call the police or go to the DNR office directly

I'm surprised at the "go to the DNR first" responses. What are they going to do? This guy is tresspassing, and committed robbery, you need to take legal action.He works for the DNR, they will prob. take his side, I think. I'd go to the police, who can really help you.

I doubt that he really needed an a memory card. My guess is that he wants to view the pics, to see what kind of game you have there. His motive may be to hunt there, or near there, or hook one of his buddys up.Still absolutely ridiculous for whatever reason,
and I would definitely pursue it. That's theft in anyone's book!!!
