Do so at your own risk, it's public land, after all. Considering how many get stolen off private land, I'd be hesitant to do it.

Anything you leave on Public Land can and will be stolen if the right person finds it.


Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.

My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

Probably wouldn't do it during season, but I would imagine the odds of someone finding my camera in the offseason would be low. Virtually nobody in those woods at that time, and my little camera in the middle of nowhere would be the ultimate needle in a haystack. But I wouldn't put it on a field, or other "likely traveled" area. Way past a gate, far out a dim roadbed, down a ridge, facing away from sight, then put a bag of corn in front of it. That's what I'd do.

I had one stolen about 2 weeks ago on the b side of Black Warrior. It was off the road over 1.5 miles in so put one out at your own risk.


I had much rather be tried by twelve than carried to my grave by six!!!!

The bag of corn is the real secret to this equation thumbup

thumbup My logic is that I'm probably gonna put the camera in an un-obvious place, so I would need something (corn) to make the deer get in front of it. Of course, a bag of corn weighs 40lbs, so you've got to consider how you're gonna tote em in there. The better idea, now that I think about it, might be to put a mineral block or something there. But again, I don't think I'd do this during season.

I too used one on Cheaha Mountain (NF) a couple of years ago, from mid-Sept till basically the week before gun season opened (nobody hunts the flippin' NF during bow season! LOL). What I wasn't shocked to discover is that there just weren't many deer, and it wasn't worth my time to keep totin' them %^#$#@ bags of corn in there. In all that time, I got one picture of one buck that I would've actually killed. But son there were turkeys by the millions it seemed.

I've had mine out at Bankhead twice this season so far. First time for a couple days. The second time was for 3 or 4 days (including the opening day of gun season). Both were within a couple hundred yards of the main road. I was nervous at work all day Saturday and decided to go get it that night. It was still there, but I didn't get a picture of a deer either time. I don't know if its worth the risk

In a lock box a mile or so in. I had it in one spot close to the road one time. Got three hunters I believe and the biggest public land deer I have seen... I was lucky on that one I guess. When I had in a mile in I got 300 pics and not one of a buck...
