Set up 5 trail cameras because I discovered they were Blacktail deer on my property. They’re not supposed to be there, about 60 miles away from their normal range. Anyway, all of the cameras were ripped off the trees, cases broken, straps broken when they were taken down and one of the cameras was never found again. Bears will chew on cameras if they find them, no chew marks just strange…
Just curious, how close is your nearest neighbor?
Is there any possibility that someone in your area doesn't want you there and is trying to scare you away?
