Hold it hostage?

If I owned the land I would be the proud new owner of the trail cam. Not sure how I'd handle it otherwise.

Mooning trail cams is a national sport I think lol.

A friend of ours put one up and immediately learned a few lessons about setting them up.

Lesson number one - do not put one up looking at a corn field. He has 492 pictures of corn.

Two years ago, some buddies of mine found one and took two huge mounts and got just the horns/head on the camera pics.

Needless to say the owner of the camera came back to hunt after he saw those bucks on camera and got caught.

Our cowboys found one of those cameras in the swamp and took it down. The guy came by a couple days later and we caught him. What a jerk. He also put up a tree stand across the fence from us and when it disappeared he came to the ranch headquarters! We didn't take it. Some other poacher did! I don't know how much one deer will cost him but he has certainly spent enough to just buy the meat from someone else!

I'd leave a note that very specifically explains that the camera is on private ground and therefore illegally placed. I'd go to great length in my note to detail what I think of trespassers and unethical hunters. Then I'd ask very nicely for the camera to be removed until they have grown a set big enough to ask for permission. I'd do all of this right after I checked the memory card! :wink:

A friends Dad found a $500 game camera on his place.
Now he just needs an instruction manual for it.

Who ever put it there won't admit to it because his entire place is posted.
He did call our FWP and they told him it is now his.
