My game camera caught some knuckle head stealing it. I had it set-up on a field edge about 200 yards off the road. The guy was given permission to hunt the property by me just last week. Anyway he tried removing the camera from the tree to no avail, due to I had it lagged into the tree. So he must of walked back to his truck to get tools. Because I have pictures of his first attempt to take it then about 30 minutes later he returned with hammer and pry bar in hand.
Anyway I take my four year old daughter out to change the memory card and needless to say I was very upset when my camera was gone. So my daughter and I are walking back out and she is asking me a million "why" questions. One of those time you don't know the answers. As we are walking out we always make it a habit to pick up trash and clean up debris on the field edges. I notice along the road where it looks as if someone pulled into the field and was in a hurry to leave. Doing a little turffing on the way out. As we approach the marks my daughter bends over and picks up some trash and low and behold it is my camera card.
I am thinking what are the chances. So I put a call into one of my buddies which happen to be a State Police Officer. He meets me at he house and we review the camera card and the story unfolded as told before. The dates,times and a good quality camera retained all the information that was needed. Including a couple of those I wonder if this camera works pictures. I pressed charges for theft of personal property and destruction of personal property. Also plan on pressing charges for the damage to the grass(Turffing). This guy thought he was slick but his fingers must have been just a little to slippery.
I just want to share the story for those of us who work extremely hard for what we have. There is some justice. Wish I could share some of the pics. Thanks for reading,Ed
