HUNTnTAT2 Report post Posted August 29, 2016 JUST A PUBLIC SERVICE. PLEASE lock up your gear and belongings while out hunting or adventuring Arizona's great outdoors. Just received a call from my brother who was out scouting for his upcoming archery Bull tag and said they had gear, ice chests, food, my dry box, bow case, gas cans and quad ramps stolen while they were out yesterday morning. This occurred in 6b close the the 231 and 538 roads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coach Report post Posted August 29, 2016 Man, my heart goes out to you. Thieves are the lowest of the low. I really hope your brother recovers his gear, although it's pretty much impossible at this point. I hope all fathers out here teach their sons not to be the kind of person that steals another man's hard earned belongings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bonecollector Report post Posted August 29, 2016 That sucks! you almost have to set up game cams in your camps when you head out.

He hides a camera in the brush where we park before heading off into the woods..I guess it could be helpful at locating a thief if they are still in the area. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PelaPapas Report post Posted August 29, 2016 Dang, sorry to hear man. Thats always one of my fears hunting down south. Knock on wood nothing has ever been taken from our camp, but we always leave a ice chest full of water out in the open. Just in case we get some stragglers coming into camp wanting some water. Rather them take water and leave then have them rummage thru our camp. Also my father and grandfather staying in camp always helps. Seems like you guys get hit pretty hard with thieves up north. It's sad you can't even trust to come back to your camp the way you left it. I hope you recover some of your guys stuff! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whitesheep Report post Posted September 3, 2016 What type of vehicle was the gear in? Open backed pickup, SUV or locked camper shell? This worries me when I hunt in populated areas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
