What's your thought about this? I'm planning on doing some turkey and deer hunting on public land, and was just curious if I could throw some cameras out there. I I know I will need to lock them down so no one steals them, but thinking about leaving for a week or 2 and see if anything is around.

I wouldn't do it. Someone will probably mess with / steal them. JMO. If you do it, just be aware of that. Unfortunate, but true.

I've seen them on public. Mooned every one of them.

If you are in a low traffic area you'll be ok. Just lock it up. And don't get upset if you have a butt or two on it.






Edit: the only reason I mooned them was because they were idiots and put them on a main trail 500 yards from the road.

If found by the Park Rangers or a GW it'll be confiscated, just like a feeder or blind would be. Sort of risky if you do this.

Ive hunted public land past few years I leave mine out for a few weeks at a time but I always walk in about 30 minutes from the parking areas so not to many people are walking through where I hunt. Needless to say I have never had any problems or gotten any pictures of people walking past them.

hide'um good!

I would hang mine high in a tree and aim them down at the trail. Birdseye view. And of course lock it up.

I've used them. No-one ever messed with mine but I have seen notes on entry gates about people having theirs stolen.
