I really like where your head is at. I posted something similar on Jesse's forum and i got yelled at for being violent. Thats how its done where I come from. Thieves get beaten. Justifiably.
I'll say like I said on the other stolen stand thread....
I had a camera stolen there (not wooded hill but still rec area) this summer just before season. I have a ladder stand there now, which after reading this i'm quite worried about. Plan on going down this week.
I'll probably change it out with a hang on and pack the sticks in and out. make it hard on them at least.
If anyone knows anyone who came recently acquired and bought a used Primos truthcam 35 with a steel box, please let me know. We all need to watch each other's backs when it comes to stuff like this. the only person who will look out for a decent ethical hunter re other decent ethical hunters.
I'll keep an eye on craigslist and whatnot locally.
Not too long ago a ranger and several of the "anti" were taking them down and dumping them in the dumpster behind the Laguna Mt store. I don't think anything came of it but I think some one had a few different photos of hikers and a specific female ranger walking out of the woods with tree stands. I want to say this was like 2003 and I think the Forest Service ended up removing the ranger and assigning her some where else. Not sure if this is whats happening but I know it was really bad back in the day with vandalized cars, stolen gear, and the ranger and hikers intentionally walking under hunters and blowing air horns.
For those of you hunting near roads or hiking trails, I would set-up a trail-cam just for surveillance purposes. It would be nice to know who is doing this! The "it hasn't happened to me" will soon change because this is happening allot up there these days.

Exactly. We gotta help each other out.
I found an old 2 person ladder stand laid over yesterday up there along with what looked like a couple pieces of strap on ladders. I took pics i just gotta figure out how to post them here. Just in case anyone is missing them.
I met a guy named Woody up there last night and he ad his cam and sweet stand taken a couple weeks ago. The piece of crap thief even left a note!
My stuff was stolen up by kitchen creek road in the rec area. It was close to the road and trails. I would like to know what the note said

Geeeeez... that's crazy guys... Whether it be tree huggers, wanna-be guides (like the guy pictured w/ the GPS unit), or hunters too cheap to buy their own... this would p!$$ me off to no end. It would be difficult for me to restrain myself to say the least. Good luck to you out there and I really hope the people are found and they pay the price.
I couldn't imagine that it's the forestry service since there's trash being left behind. I'm pretty convinced that it's our friends protecting "their majestic creatures". This has been happening so much lately that I'm a bit surprised that no one has caught them in the act yet. Makes me think it's a mid week deal.

I hunt there mid-week mostly. I'll be keeping an eye out as I hope everyone will.
Jose, i'm right there with you brotha. If i see anyone tampering with something that doesnt look like theirs, whether its mine or not, it's ass whippin time.
