    I found the camera on the intersection of Darryl and Roberts Road. The dude was a crossbow Hunter. Question for you crossbow hunters, when you walk in and out of the woods do you carry the cross for with a loaded bolt?he carries it loaded and cocked and he carries it by the lambs so the bolt is facing up in the general direction towards his head!

    I didn't think the quality was good at all. Just action shots of somebody walking was blurry

    I'd bet $$$ if you posted pics someone would know them. We have a LOT of members of people who hunt in that area. It's only a couple miles from my house.

    those guys look like they are up to something for sure. remind me to not hunt that area if I ever go there. I too have pics of crossgun hunters carrying with the gun loaded. if they can't cock it by hand then they shouldn't be allowed using it.

    Nobody I recognize.

    That one guy with the crossbow better hope he's disabled. Crossbows aren't legal here until after our 2nd firearm season. Assuming the date is correct of course.

    Any good buck pics? :sheep:

    Only 1 deer pic and it was about 5 hours after the crossbow dude walked out of the woods. Bad thing isn't can't even use the cam because it has a removable battery tray that holds the batteries and you insert it into the cam. I found the batteries all over the road but couldn't find the holder. I think the cam is useless now.

    I had one stolen in October and got a call in December from a guy who found it about a mile away on a walking path. When I lost it I had it about 30 yards off the same trail a mile or so away.

    call the camera company and get the missing part and see if it will work. use it and if someone steps forward to claim it then handle the situation then. maybe JZ can mention on the show!
