Had to rescue some Trail Cams from Wildfire

Recommended Posts

Well I hiked through Smoke and Wildfire to try and rescue my Trail Cams. Approaching my USA Trail Cam Recruit I had to use my Garmin GPS to pin point it due to the dramatic change to the landscape I was expecting to see a melted or stolen Camera. After locating it I was so pumped it was still there locked and ready for me so I packed it up, moving on to find my 2nd Camera (Wildgame) Approaching my Wildgame Camera I had jumped a Cow Elk that apparently was milking a new born Elk As I sneak away trying to not scare the lil guy, I jump a Pronehorn laying under my Camera ! As I get closer I noticed my camera was safe from flames Feeling so lucky and grateful I pack up my camera and high tailed out of the Wildfire !

 

Here's some Timelapse footage of some small fires spreading and a Video of some Elk

Glad you got your cameras out, I knew you had them in that general area I'm about 6 miles south or so.

72 hrs before and after hunt or its abandon, liter, my understanding, but I don't care to each his own, and I'm probably wrong like usual. Still great footage, always wanted to no what the middle of a fire looked like. Straight8 would no better.

Do you have a source for thos information? I would love to know for sure one way or the other. I have seen trail cams up already this year, or still up from last year. Someone is going to have some funny photos on two cameras I found in 7W if they are still functioning.... :)

Nice, no hard info just what we were told about camp sites, blonds and tree stands and camera's after 72hrs are considered abandon. Yes I see them every where also.

there are no rules in place about when you can and cannot run trail cameras. nothing has changed. technically anything left in the woods is considered abandoned after X amount of time. that is the risk with running trail cameras, nobody can really enforce anything if they are stolen because technically they can be considered abandoned property

Exactly. And by X amount of time, you mean as soon as it's left it's considered abandoned and ripe for the taking. Hide them well, secure them well, and you're good.
