So went in to my hunting area to put new batteries in the cams for the spring and they are gone 2 out of the 3 coverts. I had just been in there a few weeks before and checked them. I'm pretty sure it was someone looking for sheds. It's an area that is only allowed hunting to me and a buddy but the public can walk through. But these were on deer runs and one was really tough to get into. It was in a swamp surrounded by thick thorns. I saw a boot track in there too. Just sux I can't stand being stolen from. I don't get why another hunter would take them. And I bet the scum bag that did it would be *****ing and moaning if it happened to him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Sorry man. It sucks! I hate it too. I had 2 Coverts stolen last year and one destroyed. I started hanging them high now. It will make it harder for thieves to get to them. Do like a lot of guys do and setup a bad cam as a decoy and see if you can catch who took them.
Sorry bud, the same thing just happened to me.And it boggles my mind that a hunter would do that to another hunter. But sometimes people just suck. If you are looking, Amazon has a good price on MP8's if you want to replace them quickly. =Andrew
That sucks, do most guys use lock boxes? My cousin and I have cameras on his property and he insists on using boxes. I laugh at him but I sleep good at night not worrying.
I use lock boxes with a Python lock and I would say it deters, but mine were still stolen. The only reason why I say it deters is that they were in the woods 8 months before they were take. I think all that stuff and being sneaky, like putting them up 15ft would probably work best. But nothing is perfect. -Andrew
Yup I'll take a look on Amazon. I'm more pissed not seeing the pics I wanted to see what deer survived the winter. In Massachusetts we had one of the worst winters ever around here 109". I think I mite if got a top who did it only one guy I know that she'd hunts that area other than me. Karma is a ***** we shall see!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Sorry you got burnt. I hate a thieving scumbag!! I have finally realized that some people (used loosely) simply don't have a conscience.

there is no fence made that can stop a mushroom hunter or turkey thief period. Therefor I pull all my stuff in during spring season.
I used lock boxes, cabled to the tree and used climbing sticks to get them up about 12 feet in the air. I got pics of people looking up but not takers. ALSO I got a bright red paint marker and in big thick letters wrote, very professional looking.....MN DNR. I think people hesitate more to steal or damage if they think it's state property versus private That being said, it sucks you have to buy more cams......
I've thought of doing something like this also but I decided to just put my name and phone number instead. I think some people will think twice when they see a name on it instead of just seeing 'some camera' in the woods so to speak. I have been fortunate enough to not have any cams stolen YET. I'm sure that day will come. Sorry to hear some one took yours.
