really BAD day

[bigugly1]

I had two stands taken down in August, thoguht they were stolen but found them somewhere else in the bushlot. turns out the farm that abuts the one I hunt was sold. The farm beside the one I hunt has no bush just field and it turns out the new neighbour is a tree hugger , the owner of property I hunt actually caught her removing a ground blind I had put up and asked her to kindly leave his property. Owner did not know she had already removed my ladder stands. She and her husband have been informed that hampering with the legal right of hunters in Ontario is a chargable offense and of coarse tresspassing is.

Someone should come up with a tazer that looks like a trail camera. when you pull it from the tree WHAM! Instant pee the pants and it take a picture of it too

Don't feel bad, I took my oldest son out to hunt last weekend on private property and my double bull blind was stolen.  Despite the fact I lost out on some serious money we both had a blast seeing deer and turkeys.  Just makes you wonder what kind of a person trespasses and then steals without thinking twice.  SCUM!

Well put Mudd. Locks just separate the lazy thieves from the ones willing to work a little harder to steal. If a mans honest, there is no need for a lock.

Having had 2 cameras, 3 stands, 2 feeders and some camp stuff stolen I feel your pain.
Sometimes you have to take the game to them. If you PM me I`ll give you some ideas of things that worked for us.......

I had a brand new camera show up missing this year. Being in the remotest land around, where people know me, I thought ...the only way I'll get over this is to go buy a new one. So I did, and set it up with a lock and a cable and all, then went back to the site of the crime, which was right next to my treestand. After sitting there a while, still not believing anyone would steal from me. When I noticed something laying on the forest floor 20 yards behind me. Sure enough, laying there, covered with claw marks, and with shredded bungy cords was my first camera.,,,, still taking pictures. 1,900 of them... full 2 gig memory stick. Figuring I might have some evidence of the crime, I rushed home with it. I saw 25 minutes of nightime flashing and trees going in every direction, then 10 minutes of being dragged across the forest floor lens to the sky. Then 1,800 pictures of leaves rustling and clouds moving by. The only animal I did get a picture of was a grey squirrel who happened to sit on top of the camera one day (of course it wasn;t showing his best side) Told the guys at work who said it must have been a black bear, and 2 other guys had similar stories. Gave me my hope back in my fellow man, and a good story to tell.
