I have this cam set to take a pic then a video. I wish it recorded sounds. I called the local GW. He said he had arrested some folks that matched the description of these guys for setting fires in the area. I emailed him these. We'll see what he says.
Nothing was disturbed, but the feeder and blind went out this weekend. He also said that one of my neighbors found a bow stand on his place that he didn't put there. There will be a GW presence next weekend in my area. I hope they nail them to the wall.
First is a pic, second is the vid.


Thanks!!!

I can't believe they didn't steal your camera! Hope they get bit by a rattlesnake!

I think they noticed the game cam...see how her body language changed as they passed by?

How STUPID is that..

Good luck catching them.

Looks like a guy and a gal in the video to me, or at least for sure the one to the right is a gal.

JJ

em then em then em

Couple dumb arses right there. I hate a theif but this close to deer season you really have to be brave to walk up on somebodies property. Imagine a broadhead through the chest or a .357 for that matter. Stupidity at it's finest.

Thats crazy hope u catch these fools

People amaze me. Must be one of those from the forum that thinks they have a right to access your land because they pay taxes Surprised no one has said to shoot them

Nothing I hate worse than theives and IMO, a trespasser is just that. Hope they get caught and are punished to the full extent of the law

Hope y'all get them

Where is your lease at?

looks like two young'uns going to study anatomy

no theres's 3 total... an older man in front, hard to tell in the middle and a girl in the back

Probably some hog dogs up ahead of them would be my guess.

Meth.

Yea, there are 3 people total, an older man and a teen boy and girl. That is exactly what the GW described as the people setting fires. I just want them to stay off my property.

My place is in Red River County.

Thanks!!!

That blows my mind right there. I dont understand what people have to gain from setting fires. Are they just doing it to be a-holes or are they hoping it will spread so they can claim insurance down the road some how. I would be pissed!!! Least they didnt steal your camera. By the way what kind is it?

thats bad

Ditto

People are unbelievable. Good luck catching them.

The camera is a Moultrie D-55.
Hopefully it'll still be there when I go back. It did sit there for weeks after they came through untouched. They were there on 9/3 and I picked the camera up Sunday,

Thanks!!!
Matt

Choot em!!

Looks to me like a grandfather and his grand kids running coondogs. They are obviously just passing through and not thieves. I don't see a weapon. What's the problem if they are respectful of your property/fences and gates and the dogs are not running off game such as deer.

I would rather see young people out in the woods chasing coons with their grandpa than running the streets doing drugs and stealing. Of course I'm not that guy from Dallas with 20 acres either.

Second two are definitely kids. Young boy and older (16 or 17) female. I can see both sides. More than likely they're out with father or grandfather just running dogs or something. But, on the other hand, they ARE trespassing and shouldn't be there.

Wow

HornSlayer,
Search for my post last spring about trespassers. I own 50 acres for me and mine to hunt. The property is posted and all of the neighbors and local law enforcement know who I am and how to reach me. Still, my motorhome was ransacked, everything I have left of any value has been stolen or torn up. If someone wants to take their kids on my place to hunt, call me. I LOVE for young people to be in the woods, and I don't care if it's my woods, as long as I know about it.
I don't know what you are getting at with "Of course I'm not that guy from Dallas with 20 acres either", but I don't care if it's a guy in Dallas with 20 acres or a guy in Clarksville with a quarter section, disrespecting property is still disrespecting property. If they had my permission, they wouldn't be trespassers!
Thanks!!!
Matt
