Christian, glad you got the cam back un-molested!<br /><br />JK: I think you're on to something....I would be shocked if it weren't hunters that stole my cams in the past. Usually young hunters seem to be the culprits. Older hunters are more mature and respect others' property. I also think you might be right in that we probably have more hunting (per unit area) than you guys do out west.....just alot more open area out there for hunters than on the heavily fragmented agricultural landscapes in the midwest.<br /><br />The pot growers are another good point. They've got alot to loose and everything to gain by messing up your camera (or you, when you come back to get the cam). In North Carolina...over in the game lands....I was with a buddy herping and he showed us a side road where he came across a make-shit meth factory in the middle of nowhere (containers, a microwave on a table, tin foil....hot plates...the works) just abandoned. He said he was pretty glad it was abandoned when he happened across it and I was glad to have never accidentally found one!Trailblazerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09949103831752176052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024196009162417404.post-8136859349004571872011-10-30T12:03:42.343-07:002011-10-30T12:03:42.343-07:00I got lucky with this one, Trailblazer.

While we walked out to the cams it was mentioned to me that a geocache was in close vicinity.christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17949844088996490968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024196009162417404.post-34083479131571234932011-10-30T11:43:38.306-07:002011-10-30T11:43:38.306-07:00Adding the people we worry about the most about ar...Adding the people we worry about the most about are the people growing pot on public land.

M...Well, we did get one stolen on restricted land. Most other sites are well hidden or restricted. Maybe people actually respect private property a bit better out west? <br /><br />But my real guess is the much smaller amount of hunters. Hunters are more likely to be off trail and recognize the value of the camera whereas hikers have passed them, smiled and moved on. Off trail cameras will be much less likely to be seen by hikers too. I have gotten a few people on mine but they were all biology researchers and luckily respected the project. <br /><br />The cams in the Yuba Pass area are so well hidden that we usually wander around for 20 minutes looking for them even with a GPS coordinate.JKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16614141904786915153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024196009162417404.post-76053162766415202692011-10-30T11:32:04.612-07:002011-10-30T11:32:04.612-07:00How on earth do you guys manage to keep from getti...How on earth do you guys manage to keep from getting your cams stolen??!! The second I'd walk away from a camera not bolted and python locked to a tree in a steel security box, it would be stolen. Even with all that effort they get stolen! Private property...remote location...or not...I can't keep the thieves away.<br /><br />I'm very hopeful that I can find some sites as secure as yours in the future.<br /><br />Good on ya!Trailblazerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09949103831752176052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024196009162417404.post-27446464766577388312011-10-24T22:07:24.554-07:002011-10-24T22:07:24.554-07:00So awesome.
