huntlines Report post Posted July 27, 2012 I had another trail camera taken. This time they used a cordless grinder to get to it. I am going to set up other cameras in the area and hide them so the next time I hope to post their pictures for all to see! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck getting anything back if its the FS taking stuff! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kaibabkiller Report post Posted July 27, 2012 Had my first one stolen 2 weeks ago, we've been using these for a few years now I was wondering when it was going to finally happen. Sucks, but its part of the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't it be hilarious if the a-hole taking it started a fire cutting it off with a grinder!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigorange Report post Posted July 27, 2012 Are there particular units or areas that are more susceptible to theft? Obviously high-traffic areas and waterholes, but besides that? Thinking specifically of Unit 27...heading up to scout in a couple weeks and putting out at least one camera. Just wondering if that's a common unit for thefts. Thanks!

huntlines Report post Posted July 27, 2012 To answer some of the above questions..... No it isn't unit 27, although unit 27 is bad for this type of thing too. It wasn't the FS because they would have taken the lock box with them. When the FS comes in and takes things they cut locks off and take everything. No this person(s) cut the lock box itself and made it worthless then just took the camera. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gotcoues Report post Posted July 27, 2012 I've been looking at a camera by Spypoint which is a two part set up. The main camera sets up as you normally would install your cameras. The second part is the "black box" which can be hidden up to 250' away I believe. The main camera sends the pics to the hidden black box and if your camera is stolen, most likely the thief's picture will be taken and you would at least not loose your pictures and probably have the low life scum on camera. The down fall is, I believe both units take an sd card and I think the main camera still stores the pics as well as sends them to the black box. I would be happier if the thief didn't get any pictures but I'm not positive about this detail. I have a hodge podge of new and old cameras, so buying a "new line up" is not in my immediate future, but I really like this concept! This new product will have many copy cats out there within no time. It's just too good of an idea for it not to take hold. I'm assuming with this new design, we will have thieves' ugly mugs plastered on the web for all to see. I'm not a huge fan of placing a second camera, the lose of one is bad enough, two would be just unbearable! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elkhunter Report post Posted July 27, 2012 Set up Nother camera in the same box and fill it up with gunpowder, that should make the news 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huntlines Report post Posted July 27, 2012 Yep.... also looking into this as well but first will try the seperate camera set up. I don't want these guys or guy to see the camera and recognize it is a two part system and then back out. I want to catch this scum! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huntlines Report post Posted July 27, 2012 Ha I like the gun powder idea. Not enough to kill him but enough to send a clear message! I'm going to have to figure out a way to try that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reganranch Report post Posted July 27, 2012 Huntlines this really sucks bro! How many cameras were taken total? Now I'm a little paranoid about my cameras now. They've been fine from may to the first of this month. But as August gets closer more people out in the woods, and unfortunately more Aholes too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
