I'm a new bc resident and haven't hunted here yet. I have never owned a trail cam because I dont have private land to hunt. In ontario, you are taking a chance leaving trail cams up on crown land and every season cams get stolen. Is it the same here?

Yup theres always a chance some asshole will find it. Lots of people still put them out and have no issues.

There is always a chance your cams could get stolen. there are a lot of assholes in this world. I'm careful where I put mine for that reason and have never had one stolen.

If you put them where others are likely to walk yes they will most likely disappear. Myself and many others have never had issues though, look for seclusion.

Lock box lagged to a tree. Cable lock through the box and a small padlock over the front will deter most criminals.

Yes, I remember when those dirty rotten bass turds gave their best attempt at getting that camera. It is always a risk placing our cameras on crown (and even private) land no matter how far off the beaten path we go. If someone wants our stuff bad enough they will get it. The best we can do is try and deter them.
Between guys attempting to steal our cameras, blinds etc., guys hunting over an established spot - oh and guys hanging tree stands 50yds away from your site (personal favourite) there seems to be no bar low enough for some people to go.

No shortage of AssRats and Gut Pile hunters these days .
Sad state of affairs in the hunting community .

It’s always a possibility and odds increase in busy areas.
Knock on wood I have not lost one yet but I know lots of guys who have
