When you find a game camera in public land

To whoever twerked in front of my camera during last archery season in Colorado in a ghillie suit, I had an awesome laugh when I pulled the camera today.

A picture is worth a thousand words...

I never go any closer than 10 feet to a camera because the guy or girl that owns might be as sadistic as myself. I like to plant half inch plywood with 16 penny nails drove through it around my game camera. I hope the next guy that steals one of my cameras enjoys his limp out.

Why is this even a question? This is why our world is in such disarray. The fact this is Even a convo when you know what the right answer is is a problem.

Found a trail cam on a tripod laying over on its side next to a well used wallow one time while elk scouting.

I picked up the tripod and made it stable, then left it alone.

You asked, I deliver.

Bear boxes and python locks have been a huge investment for me. Had ballsy folks run up in my bear bait and try and take the camera. If a bear can't take it, I doubt captain dbag can either

Found one of my buddies cameras tonight while out on a hike, couldn't resist spicing up his next card pull.

Leave it alone, along with anything else that I find on public that’s not mine.

I keep a spare SD card with me containing bigfoot and alien pics on it, then I swap the cards.

This is the way

It isn't yours leave your F*$king hands off it. All answers other than "A" are wrong.

Sorry, have to laugh because you are basically saying the land within view of the camera belongs to the person who set up the camera. B involves no touching, simply walking on public land.

Me and my brother ran into a strung up deer quarter while fly fishing. I took these pictures and almost thought about calling the F&G but I had no reason to think the deer was poached other then it was dead. I also think the trail camera was the messaging kind since it was about where you lost service, but I still had some. And the brown thing above the feeder said iirc Portland Zoo or some other zoo, which makes me think it was a scientific study. I just wanna know what predators your gonna get on that cam

Honestly one of the strangest things I've ever seen in the woods, and I really wonder what was going on, if any of you guys have theories. But yeah I just let the camera be

Maybe a field biologist trying to get pics of local Mountain Lions for a study or something like that?

Lots of folks on here condone walking past litter it seems....

 

[Mtns2hunt]

Should always be A but I truly hope there is an old well or mine around for someone that messes with someone else's property.

Seriously, I cannot understand someone stealing just because it is on public property. I have had multiple items picked up and taken: even a milk crate once that I had been using for a seat.

A - Leave it alone

 

[Loo.wii]

F
Pull my cheeks out and give them a show

 

[Szwampdonkey]

Walk in front of them intentionally every time i see one. Once i know it’s there i’ll make sure i swing in front of it going in and coming out every time i’m at that piece of public

If you run cams and don’t like getting multiple pics of me get your trash the F out of the woods.

 

[Dbaer282]

Leave it alone…. Belongs to someone else.

 

[jse5019]

A is the preferred answer but B is also reasonable - just don’t touch it if it isn’t yours. I’ve had cameras stolen on my own land, trespassers have also walked in front of my cameras on my land, and I had a small game hunter shoot a camera with a shotgun on public.

I leave them alone and to keep mine from being messed with, i always hang them 9-10' up. I've always got a climbing stick on my pack when I'm hanging cams on public in Georgia. Knock on wood, havent had any messed with since i started doing that and I've had several pictures of oblivious hunters coming through.
