So.... my Labor Day weekend turned out to be just GREAT... went home to check all the cams and fill feeders. Was able to check 2 cams that were close to the house, then decided we would run out to the other place to check the rest of them... got there and 7 of the other 8 cams had sprouted legs and walked off. It was all of about 4 miles between where the first one was jacked to where the last one was and we found found footprints (barefoot at that) in the road. Is it wrong for me to wish some sorry individual could get gut shot and dumped in the lake or that this person could get snake bit and not make it out of the woods?
Sry for the rant, but have had a "few" tonight and have finally lost my cool about the whole situation. I can replace the cams...but how comfy should I feel about putting them back in the same locations, when someone knows exactly where to look.

that sucks.....idk what i would do.... maybe lock em up out there, but they can still get stolen.

Man, makes me think it is someone you know. 4 miles apart and they just happened to find that many. Crazy. Sorry to hear it. Id put more out, but hide them better and put them where you might catch pics of the guy if he comes back.

Never used one, don't know the sensor/trigger range but I'd mount em a bit higher and angle it down, would make it harder to spot.

I'm just hoping they don't have a friggin' comp. to check the cards or else we will probably have a poaching problem from the no good for nothing showing his like minded friends. The cams are easy to find b/c the food plots and stands are all off a tram road that runs through the property. All the cams along that road got jacked, the lone survivor cam was on the other section across the FM road.

Put one, well hidden, at the entrance to the road and see if they come back.

I would put up a "dummy cam" back in the same spot, with an IR camera above it. Make it where there is no way to get to it. They come back steal the dummy. The IR catches the whole thing.

That's been done (where the lone survivor cam went)...and unless they have a gun or a ladder, they won't be able to get to it.

sweet, hope you catch the dbag.

Do you have any oil field activity? That seems to be when my cameras start to go missing.

They jacked my 2 IR cams or else I would have went with that idea.

I hope we catch the dbags as well... actually I hope someone else with a clearer head does and just tells me it's taken care of... I would probably get ig-nernt.

good luck catching that idiot.

no oilfield traffic... there is only a handful of ppl who go out there to fill feeders and I'm fairly certain they had nothing to do with it.

no joke...lol, someone lookin' for their dogs could have stole them.

them boys were up to no good i would bet money on it.

I wouldn't doubt it... I didn't even go "next door" to see if the locks on the gate had been messed with. I may need to place a call tomorrow b/c that is only 1 gate down.

Its more than likely gypsies.

They are not to be trusted.

barefoot???

That would be tough to stay on a lease where that kind of stuff happens.

Def sounds like someone you know. Hope you catch them

sadly...it's not a lease.

check the pawnshops and Craigslist... maybe you can get lucky and track one back the the theif.

man that sucks if i was you i would get that new moultrie cams that let you view the pics form your house and wait till the scum comes back and tries it again.

I hate thieves. What county? The barefoot prints is very very odd. A neighbor?

SA Co... have since heard there is someone working on scouting the neighbors... (especially to see if they have kids riding 4wheelers all over the place in that general area.)

Its probabally those hame headed kids
