So, anybody have there trail cameras setup yet.?

No, but I've wanted to find someone's trail camera and spend some time in front of it in a good alien costume.

I recently saw an article that down in eastern Kentucky there were some trail cameras booby-trapped with explosives. Not sure if it was drug makers protecting their turf or anti-hunters. They have also come across some booby-trapped tree stands. They were warning hunters and land owners to be very vigilant when checking their equipment. One hunter lost a hand when he went to change the batteries in his camera and it exploded when he opened it.

This is one of the saddest stories I've read in a long time, but I shouldn't be surprised. Terrorism comes in lots of flavors. I hope it's another trail camera that catches some images of this/these creep(s) so they can be prosecuted.

There are some really sick people in this world. I don't know why that surprises me, but it still does. I guess my feeble little brain just can't handle some of the things that we humans are capable of.

My step son has a 12 pt on a cam he set up. I'm just waiting for that text / picture.
