I know I'm stupid for trusting in humanity. I recently had placed my trail camera in an area that looked promising on public land. After seeing nothing but a small buck and lots of doe I decided to change locations closer to my house in Howell. I placed my camera on public land again with corn and attractant to see whats in the area. I know there is plenty of deer from living here my whole life, I just wanted to see if the spot was producing any good bucks. I return a week later to all the corn gone (assuming the deer gobbled all 80lbs no problem) and my trail camera gone. I did not place a camera lock cable on it because I figured 1, this is an area the general public does not stroll into so only hunters would be there, and no ethical hunter would take another persons belongings. However, there are degenerates I assume go through the woods because I have found plenty of beer cans and other waste. So I am leaning more to it being degenerate teenagers in the area. Hoping no hunter would take that camera. I still plan on hunting the area because there are lots of positive signs of deer in the area (rubs, tracks, eating all food placed for them). I was just wondering if anyone has any advice because now I am a bit worried about leaving my climb on stand out there. I bought a tree stank lock, but did not know if there were any similar instances or suggestions from y'all. Just sucks because normally I turkey hunt and this is my first year giving deer a try. I was excited for the season but this has put a big damper on it for me.
