I checked my trail cams the last 4 days and 4 of my trail cams had been ripped off the trees from bears I spent over an hour trying to find one of them I found it about 50 yards from the tree it was on ,,bears are a big problem this year for me never had very many times that bears attack my trail cams before.
I spent 4 hours fixing and attaching my trail cams back in place ,,in one area I have my trail cam I got a few pictures of 3 surveyors they where nice enough not to touch my trail cam there are still decent people out there..
One bad thing is that when I first looked at the tree that the trail cam was on it was not there looking at where it was from 50 yards back the first thing that I thought of was them F**king surveyors took it.
As I got up to the tree it was on I saw the trail cam about 5 feet from the tree it was on cords chewed and the springs stretched out of whack I then said I was sorry for blaming the surveyors for taking my trail cam ,,in the picture you can see that the boss is caring a 12 gauge defender in his back pack.
I learned a lesson this past four days that I will be putting all my trail cams up off the ground at about 7 feet will make it a lot harder for the bears to play with the trail cams ,,I think that they see the flash or the red infrared and then go to it and rip it off the tree thinking it might be something to eat ??.
On my thread hunter 1947 trail cam thread you will see that I did a few changes on some of my trail cams on my video clips..
