1100 acre club in Gaffney SC...


Back Aug 3 I swapped out my camera cards. Went out this AM 8/22/14 to change the cards again and the whole camera #2 is gone. I dont buy expensive cameras because of this, but it still angers me. Its sad to think but from now on, Im doubling up my cameras. One to watch a area and another to watch a camera from higher up and hidden.

Moultrie Game spy A5.

Last footage from 8/3 had this 7-8 pointer. Camera 2 @ 2:22 in the video.  VIDEO LINK
I was hoping to see him or his Daddy today.

You are in some thick country.  I never did any of this, but have heard it works.  

Find their entry trails on the edge of your property, string barbed wire a foot off the ground tied to two trees.  It does hell on a four wheeler and hurts the one going over the handle bars.  Typically, trespassers will branch trails all over your place, yet only have two, possibly three entry points.

To narrow down the entry points, use monofilament fishing line around your borders to find them.  Hang cameras on those trails, they will not suspect cameras not around feeders, deer trails, etc.

Here in Texas it is HOT and pigs are all over just prior to deer season.  Hunt these entry trails for pigs, two of you at a time.  The first one speaks, then the second one.  Trespassers quickly realize it is not worth it to do anything stupid.  They wear all camo, facemasks, etc so you can't tell who they are on camera.  Do the same, they won't know who the two people were that beat the hell out of them.  Who are they going to call?

In all honesty, it is usually kids out hunting without their parents.  All they need is a little guidance/discipline.  For the meth heads, one encounter and they don't come back.  They just want to do their thing and go on.

I use a lock on mine just in case

I use the computer lock down kits. It's a cable about 1/4 thick with a loop on one end and a small crimped eyelet on the other.
It threads through some cams back plate. Work fairly well. Had one stolen before I used them.
Haven't lost one in years.

More likely than not, it was someone who did not like the idea of having their picture on so one else's camera.

Just ordered 3 more cams. Im going to put one exactly where the other was taken. and with the other 2 Im going to find a place to put them to watch both camera sites.

Im hoping to catch some footage of the thief.

wheres that cam that takes pic and sends it to your
email/phone...

I lost a camera and feeder last summer. We have a power line right of way  that runs through our property, asplundh came up to clean them up. 2 weeks later I was robed. After talking to some neighbors there were several others that were robed as well. Of coarse not having any proof asplundh won't do anything about it, but everyone that had stuff taken on my road all have right of ways that were cleared by them a few weeks prior. I switched to the spy point that has the remote memory so I will have proof next time.
