Messed With

[GameHauler]

Well I went to check my cams this morning

and someone popped the retaining strap loose

on one of my cams at 3:48 yesterday afternoon

It was still hanging from the locking cable.

I know it was a human because something was moved

that could not have been done by an animal.

 

Nothing special coming in and looking at the deer

I think the archery season is to early,

they have a lot of growing to do yet.

 

Here are a couple vids off one of my cams

Sorry about the vandalism. I'm glad they weren't stolen. Those are some really cool videos. In both, the elk clearly know the cam is there and go up to investigate. I wonder if they see it, hear it or smell it? In any event, they are definitely aware of it. I would have never guessed that.

 

Did you get any pics of the perps?

[GameHauler]

No pictures of them.

I think they let the strap loose so the cam was pointed towards the ground

so they could walk around.

They could have/ should have just covered it up with a hat or something.

 

When the camera is in video mode it takes a still picture

and then takes the video.

I am really surprised a digital cam would make a noise they could hear

My digital cams make a noise in video mode. It's a soft click when it comes on and again when it turns off.

I had the exact same thing happen to one of mine last fall about this time.

I had someone do the same to mine last sunday afternoon 5:11 PM. I figure they did it to avoid having there picture taken. It is a crummy feeling...
