tjhunt2 Report post Posted August 17, 2016 I have a spot I have salted for over 20 yrs and baited when it was allowed. I hiked in to check it out and found a camera on it. No surprise to me. Your camera was strapped to a branch and easily could have been removed and a check of your SD card. I told myself, it isn't yours so don't touch it. I left it alone and respected your property. It would have been easy to check your SD card but I didn't because I know the hunting gods would have spelled me with bad kudos. If it ain't yours leave it alone. Just south of the Controll Rd in 22N. TJ 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C.O.U.E.S. Report post Posted August 17, 2016 good on you TJ, as it should be. Hypothetical ? if TJ sits this spot during the archery season and trail cam owner shows up to check his camera is he wrong for doing so? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigorange Report post Posted August 17, 2016 good on you TJ, as it should be. Hypothetical ? if TJ sits this spot during the archery season and trail cam owner shows up to check his camera is he wrong for doing so?Seems like a first-come, first-serve situation. If TJ is already there and the person comes in they should back out and leave the spot to TJ...and vice versa. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C.O.U.E.S. Report post Posted August 17, 2016 In a perfect world the 1st come 1st serve scenario is the answer...In reality, The trail cam owner usually has a sense of ownership of there new spot, camera coverage area and game on SD card, and has no room for a 20 year user of the same area....IMO kudos to ALL outdoorsman that understands the 1st come, 1st serve ETHICS on a DAILY bases... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
