Thread: Pretty disappointing

Upon getting to the spot the disappointment started when I realized someone had found and stolen the camera. After 30 minutes of searching the ground to check it hadn't fallen out or slipped down the tree I turned around as I didn't want to be swimming in the dark.

Pretty disappointing that people in the hunting community think this is acceptable. It's not different than stealing from my wallet. By the time you factor in diesel driving over and back, the cost of the camera, batteries and memory card someone's just stolen a few hundred dollars never mind the time taken to come collect it or the 3 months of footage no gone.

Here a pic of Fleur a bit frustrated after almost being washed away twice to come get a camera that wasn't there.

PS: if you happened to be the one that "found" the camera and wanted to return it I would really appreciate that also

If you swam that river you are a legend. Sorry to hear about your trail cam, I hope you get it back.
Just remember loose lips sink ships and people can't help themselves and have to talk so you have a chance of getting it back.
