Coach Report post Posted August 11, 2008 So, I was thinking...always dangerous...I know we'd all like to make a fake trail cam full of C-4 with a cell phone detonater, but that's a little extreme...Couldn't we come up with a lo-jak style tracking device that would help deter some of the camera thefts? It's getting to the point that you almost have to be willing to throw the camera away to leave it anywhere. Personally, I wrap mine up in steel and cables, but as we've seen above, that won't stop someone who is determined to steal the camera. Not sure what the fix is, but whoever figures it out first is gonna be a rich SOB. I say, make it impossible to remove without totally destroying it. You may still lose it, but nobody is going to get any use out of it when they are done. Dang scumbags - and yes, I know some of you who read this forum and never post are among the thieves. Shame on you if you take another man's belongings and hard work. J Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iwannakillsomething Report post Posted August 11, 2008 well there is almost a way........ i say almost because there is a sd card out there that uses wi-fi connection to send pix from the card to your computer. so if they walk within an open network it emails you the pix. so they do have it BUT it aint cheap..... a lady i know had her camera stolen from her purse and the guys were takin pictures the whole time and the cops used the pix she got emailed to her to find them...the best thing was she got the pix of her little baby girl emailed as well so she still got the normal pix... and the card has a code so you can have it send to almost any computer. but again it aint cheap!!!

You think a blaze orange deer could walk thru an open field on opening day and not get shot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZLance Report post Posted August 15, 2008 unless the deer cuts the cable and tries to walk away with the camera it is not going to get sprayed. hook the trip wire to the camera, so that when it is removed from the tree, it goes off... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't bears enjoy our 35mm cameras too? Hmmm I think I'm going to buy a bear tag, and some paint grenades. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
