Anyone ever have the forest service re position a trail cam for them

[KingJeff187]

last year just after the archery deer season I had a forest service officer look at, take down and put back up my camera. Anyone have a simular experience?

[backcountry_brad]

Weird. Never happened to me or heard of it happening to anyone

[6ANut]

Nope but I would say you were quite lucky he didn't declare it abandon property.

I had it lagged to an old dead tree. So he had to un lag it looked at it for a few minutes and then mounted it back to the tree. I thought it was odd, Figured if he went through the trouble of un lagging it that he would have taken it. Guess he must have been bored That day. hahaha

[6ANut]

Oh that's crazy un-lag it then leave it? buy a lotto ticket

[bonecollector]

did he put the lag bolts back in?

Maybe he put a GPS tracking device in the camera and they are planning on busting your door down in the middle of the night.

yes, he put all 4 of them back in. 3 in the camera and one i had under the bottom door to keep it from opening.Pretty stand up guy if you ask me..haha

I can only hope the Forest service finds me so flateringly special that they would pay me a visit. But if it happens in the middle of the night they might want to bring some protection. I don't take to kindly to late night visiters. At least Men for that matter..lol

for messing with your camera and then pointing it off in another direction?

When I find a camera I just move along, I dont check it or mess with it. Not really a stand up guy in my opinion.

I have mooned several cams.

[elkaholic]

Just had one where someone cut the bungee cord used to secure the top tight but couldn't steal as it was cabled/locked -

 

one photo then nothing but pointing at the ground

 

nothing one can do

considering he had it un lagged and was with the Forest Service and could have simply taken my camera. Yes , I consider him to be doing me a favor. After all of the cameras i have had taken, I was just glad I wasnt out another $100 like in prior years.
