I can't believe the luck I had today.
Two days ago I purchased a scoutguard trail camera.
I went up in my woods behind the house and found a good trail coming out of a thicket that empties onto a "road" that I use to access the back of my property. This road is about 1/2 mile long,and I happened to pick this one spot.
I set the camera up there about 7:00 P.M. Friday night and left. I went back Saturday morning to check to see If I had pictures and was surprised to see I had 54.
I got home and pulled them up and was surprised to see most of them were of these two guys on a four wheeler at about 10:15 at night. I have no clue what someone would be doing on my property that late, or even where they came from. The direction they came from is woods for miles. I initially thought they might be poaching, but then I looked at all the pictures. It looks like they set a bag on the front of the four wheeler, then left for about 8 minutes, then came back with what looks like a tree or bush, and then did something for about another 6 minutes with the bush.
I suspect they have a pot stash growing on my place. I called the sheriff and gave him copies of the photos. He said pot around here would have been harvested last month. I just can't think of anything else they could possibly be doing at that time of night that far back in the woods. Can anyone else think of a possible scenario besides pot harvest? I walked all over the area they were at, but didn't see anything.
Maybe they were stealing some trees.
They then left the opposite direction they came, and never went back. The direction they headed only leads to the main road unless they cut off in the woods again.
I had to laugh at how perfectly the camera happened to be placed, and that they had no clue it was there. It has an IR flash that is slightly visible in the dark, but I guess they didn't notice. I'm debating weather to place an old junky trail cam of mine with a standard flash on the other side of the trail, and leave my new one where it is now, and see what happens if they come back. The cop said they could be charged with more if they destroyed something. I wish the one picture of his face is a little clearer. I tried to enhance it, but it didn't help much. Does anyone on here have better software that could make out more details?
