i found this post on an other form. i thought i'd share. link..The ATF Issues Warning of More IEDs in Trail Cameras | OutdoorHub
Solid advice to not touch a trail camera that does not belong to you even if it is not rigged with explosives.
I heard of someone rigging their cameras with paint. Like a paint bomb type solution. Probably a better idea than actual explosives
No one should be rigging their cameras with explosives... To the same tune, no one should be touching said cameras in the first place.
A very effective way to stay safe don't touch things that are not yours, no matter where you see them.
I'd much rather rig a camera to be a taser. Than have a 2nd camera setup to film video of the idiots who mess with it twitching on the ground.
