    trail camera stolen... Went to check my cameras today and went to a new property that I am going to hunt this year that I have had a camera or two on since April. Well I had moved all my cameras but one off the property because I suspected it might be getting some foot/ATV traffic. Lucky for me it was the oldest/worst camera in my fleet - still a $250 Bushnell, it wasn't functioning as new - working like a 3 year old camera.

    I guess they needed it more than me. A lot of bleeping low lifes in this world...

    Horrible helpless feeling when people steal from you. It's a joke that people can do it with no remorse. I just set me new covert up on my food plot and it will be 9 days till I check it again. If its stolen I think I would be more pissed that I lost the pics it took but still mad the camera was gone too ha ha!!!

    I was a victim twice last season.....as well as a treestand that I had built for my father for Fathers Day a few years ago(God rest his soul) I have found that if you can get your cams about 10 ft up a good sized tree, they are out of reach and usually out of sight.

    Very sorry to hear that man. Keep an eye on craigslist and such in your area. They might just try to sell it.

    Blessings.......Pastorjim

    Yeah I guess I am inclined to give people the benefit of the doubt and I really shouldn't be so naive. I walked right to the tree that I "thought" I put it on and looked up and down the tree like, "what the hell is going on"? I walked up and down that trail thinking maybe I had lost my mind and put it on another tree - not the case, it was on the tree I thought it was and someone picked her clean.

    So goes it - still not happy about it but I will pray for them in church on Sunday. Like I said, they really need it more than me if they have to steal it. My hunting season will go on with or without that damn camera.

    Are comments like this really tolerated on this site? Not sure where this site is going via comments like this! Kids use this site and do we need our kids seeing comment like this,let a lone myself. I can put up with it ,it's just the kid thing I'm worried about. Do not our moderaters have justice to quash verbal bashing as in the "above mentioned"????
