VermontHunter Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 I put my trail cameras back up a couple weeks ago to see if the turkeys were on the move for our May 1st. opener ,,, So I go and check the cameras this morning with the wife and caught this trespasser checking out my scent block I use during fall hunts,, he even got up and personal with my Trophy Cam ,, :jaw: I showed the pictures to my wifes uncle that owns this farm, needless to say he wasn't very happy and thinks he knows who this character is and will be having some words with him .. I just can't believe how BOLD people are these days ,,, ZERO respect to say the least ... Here's what I caught on camera ... Guess I can be thankful he didn't attempt to smash this camera inside the lock box ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VermontHunter Posted April 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Looks like maybe he was shed hunting No sheds to be had in my hunting area Steve ... I've never found a single one in the years I've hunted this family farm .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 He might be from NJ, lol. We have that sort of thing all the time. I hope he gets the message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swohiodave Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 That would make me so mad. He then has the nerve to look at the camera....he should have turned around and left right away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Be careful cause once your wife's uncle confronts him, he'll know how he got busted and could go back looking for your cameras. I wouldn't put a camera back in that spot anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Feel your pain Luke. Glad he did not steal or damage your camera. Think I would move that camera or try to put it out of reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted April 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Stealing any of my cameras is near impossible without damaging the cameras themselfs. They are lag-bolted to some good sized trees with 5" lag-bolts inside steel bear safe boxes, paddle locked and python cable locked .... :D I'm almost sure this guy already knows I have his picture, and if he wanted to smash the camera he could have tried then and there, I just think he was being nosey and poking around. The wifes uncle seems to think he's a hired hand of the neighboring farm, which is a relative of theirs. I should know more by this weekend, I'm on vacation for the first week of our Turkey season ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
