Thread: Thiefs!

Guys, one solution to catch the bastards, it would be to set up a trail camera close to where you park your vehicle each time you go for a hunt.and a second one on the road/ track going to your vehicle so you make sure you can catch the number plate of their vehicle as well, just in case.
It is sad to have to resort to those kind of procedures to catch the bastards. And even if they get caught they probably end up with a slap on the wrist:-(

Probably get your game camera stolen.

If you leave it in open right in front of your car I have no doubt that this will in deed happen, I hope you understood I was meaning to hide it?

The main problem I have encountered with this is that game cameras, and security cameras that rely on using IR illum, tend to be poor at capturing number plates. They generally end up just giving you a photo of a bright white blur with no distinguishable letters/numbers. They are still good for getting images of people and a general idea of their vehicles. The best way to overcome this is by using them in conjunction with white light, ie a down light at a gate. Just my 2 cents, your experience may vary, especially as technology improves.
