Someone Stole My Damn Game Camera

[35Remington]

Went out to the ranch today, and my damn camera got stolen. Locking cable is still intact, with the little clip from the camera just dangling off the end. Was really excited to see those photos. Dang it.

Next time, I'm gonna hide a game camera that watches my game camera.

Ok, rant over.

Prox mines were always my favorite way to play 007 Goldeneye.

sorry to hear that.... was anything else taken?.... what about the neighboring ranches? if you dont know the owners of the property next to you.... it might be a good time to meet them and start a conversation....

That's BS! Sorry to hear about your stuff being stolen. We catch the neighbors (of our lease) on our cameras once in a while, but they are usually looking for a cow or one of their hog hunting dogs, but nothing is ever stolen. I guess we're just lucky. Of course we've gone out of our way to be friendly to the locals.

I think I know who it was. Problem is, it won't be worth it to find out.

My dad uses game cameras for a little hillbilly home security - catching a record of everyone who uses the driveway, front door and back door to his house. Plus, he gets pictures of his wildlife. Funny thing, if you find the right spot to mount one it'll blend right in to an oak tree. There's been times I couldn't find cameras for several minutes even when I knew what tree to look at.

You might try finding a tree with dark-colored bark next time...

I've see ants shut down AC units here in Texas. They are a specific breed that are attracted to anything electric.

Per my understanding, the ants in question eat the insulation off of the wires. They can kill fiber optic lines pretty quickly and cause thousands in damage.

Very true. I have seen them shut off many wells and other electric items in well houses.

I've heard of game wardens taking cameras if they think you're hunting out of season. Might want to check with them. BS, but I guess they can do whatever they want...

Without contacting the landowner?

 

[TheDan]

The specific story I heard was the game warden took the camera and left his business card. I guess the landowner would have been completely unaware if the business card had fallen into the leaves or something. This is third party info, so who knows...

I'd tape of the flash and lens of your new game came. Clean the surface with alcohol. 3M spray glue the crap out of it. And dust, shake, cover the thing. With whatever bark of tree your using. That includes straps. If the lens and flash stand out, snag some panty hose for the other half. Try it on the lens, see how the pics come out.

Hide it, just dont stick it in a tree. Cuz if you dont....Might as well, threw it out the truck window on the way there.

I was walking along hugging the trees and the trees were grateful. At the very last tree I hugged the tree gods gave me a camera, pre loaded with beautiful pictures of woodland animals at play. Oh such wonderful Deer. Thank you tree gods.
