bonecollector Report post Posted July 31, 2011 Uh oh!! Is he sure the pics are of the thieves or just assuming? There has been many of problems with people that think they have pics of the thieves with no proof and puting their mug shot all over the internet. If he's absolutely positive, I say post up the pics or get the proper people involved like the authorities. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mason a Report post Posted July 31, 2011 Post the pictures ,That will give us something else to hunt the year. No just kidding, Its a tough call because you will always have other members worried that you are accusing without enough evidence, Either way it sucks. Have often thought about getting one of those cameras with a modem which sends your pictures to your email and that way , you may have a better chance at getting a picture or 2 of the dirtbag.Of coarse he will probably approach it from the rear and cover the lens before he does his dirty work. but at least you will get your pictures up till then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mason a Report post Posted July 31, 2011 I wonder what these thieves are doing with all of these cameras . craigslist,ebay . If so, In very small numbers. Are they other hunters? replenishing theirs when they get stolen? Is it word of mouth, kinda a like drug dealers . You just know where to go to get a cheap game camera, A friend of a friend of a friend who always has an assortment of used game cameras for sale, bear boxes too, but slightly damaged? It's a mystery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck Thieves or just assuming??? lol If you don't want your face posted on the Internet then don't stick your face in front of a trail camera its that easy... and if you don't want to be accused of stealing a trail camera "once again" don't stick your face in front of a trail camera.... i would post the pics.... they didn't respect your equipment why give them any respect... If some one is just passing by then that's a different story but if its a full shot of some dudes face 2 ft from your camera for 3 to 5 pictures then shame on them.... hunters need to respect other hunters equipment....

4Falls Report post Posted July 31, 2011 Im gonna disagree with Gino on this one. I always approach an area assuming theres a camera and when I find it I cover the lens, do what I do, uncover the lens and go on my merry way. I figure the last thing you guys want is a picture of my fugly mug on your camera, wasting your batteries and spoiling you lunch as your looking through your pics. 23 is notorious for stolen cameras, not sure why. My theory is that all cameras are stolen by other hunters then just reused. Non- or anti-hunters have no real use for the cameras and if they just wanted to mess with a guys stuff its alot easier to disable a camera in place then to go the the trouble of removing it. Sorry to hear about your cameras, if your definately sure you have the guys caught in the act then post them. If nothing else it may make them think twice before they swipe the next guys stuff.
