North Slope Uintas Stolen Trail Cams-Reward

I have a unique proposition for anyone that can help me track down whoever is stealing my trail cams on the North Slope of the Uintas. I even have an offer for the person or persons that are taking my cameras. These cameras are not just sitting for the taking, they are locked inside metal boxes bolted to trees.

I run about 10 cameras in several drainages on the North Slope, and I have hunted up there for 10 years. It is very tough hunting for very few animals. I have learned a lot about the areas I hunt, and I am willing to share my trail cam pics and knowledge and information with whoever can help me find out who keeps stealing my cameras. My latest stolen camera was located in the East Fork of the Bear drainage. The trailhead was packed opening weekend of the archery hunt, and I assume it was stolen then. I have taken pictures of every vehicle parked there then and since. I have also placed multiple hidden cameras in the area to hopefully catch whoever did it. I am offering a $200 reward for finding and returning this latest camera. If you are the person that stole this camera or other cameras from me, send me a private, anonymous message, and I am more than happy and willing to give you the $200 for returning what you stole, no questions asked. We can work out a place to drop it off and I will never know who you are. You already can't use the camera because it has a security code. I am also more than happy to give you a digital camera and the combination to my locks so you can check my cameras and have access to the pictures without having to break my locks and steal my stuff. You know as well as I do that it is hard work to hike where you did. It is a lot of work to run those cameras, and I would rather join you and work together, because obviously you will stop at nothing to steal my stuff. I work too hard to create opportunities at animals. It is very frustrating to put in the work, only to have nothing to show for it. If I happen to get pictures of the thief, they will be posted here to be identified.

Anyone with any possible helpful information, please send me a private message.

Thanks
 
That is actually a really nice offer to the thief. My offer would have been to let them keep one half of one of their testicles after I caught them, which I think is also a very generous offer. That way he wouldn't have the ball to do it again.

I hate people like that. It really takes the fun out of the sport.

I hope you get it figured out.
 
I started bring a rope and harness and climbing trees to put mine up. They either get stolen or I loss cards or batteries if they are reachable.
 
Probably just the Forest Service removing the cameras. Doubt it is legal to bolt cameras to trees on Forest Service lands and even more frowned upon in wilderness areas. Fine to chain them, but not to bolt or nail them to a tree.

Doubt the USFS would care enough to actually remove them.

I have photos of guys messing with mine all the time. People steal them for multiple reasons. Value to sell or use and probably more common is that think that that spot is theirs and if they take your camera you won't hunt there because you don't have photos.

Its even common on private lands.
 
Set up another camera to watch who comes in the area. One placed covertly on a trail is very hard to detect as you are not watching for them as you are trucking up the trail.
I had two New trail cameras stolen this spring on a bear bait but was able to get video of the guy on camera down the trail. Showed the video to the Warden and he knew the guy. It took about 5 days and the warden came bringing my cameras back and told me he had ticketed the guy for theft and gave him a warning for disturbing a legal hunt.
 
I Can GUARANTEE it wasn't a LAZY-ASS Forrest Service Official!

The forest service wouldn't break my locks and leave the boxes on the trees. This one was on a dead tree, which is what I typically do. Chains can do more damage.
