Husband and I went on our morning walk and it did not go as expected. He noticed a small red light blinking at the wood line as we approached and we found a game camera, on our land, pointing at our house that isn't ours.

“Walk up to the camera with a 12 ga. Squeeze the trigger while pointing at the camera. After saying have a nice day.”

I did that. And the camera was blown to pieces.

Y'all are all playing the game incorrectly. Put on gloves, take the camera and install it right near a PLACE at, say, 2 a.m.. Let it sit there a couple of days and then "discover it" and report it. If it has a cell connection (many do), the perp will most certainly never get out of trouble. If not, the authorities will figure who bought it and where more than likely, and the perp will still be in huge trouble. Or, think of something similar.

Place it where the authorities will REALLY get upset over it (i.e. watching the police station or other well-thought-out-locations). Leave the memory card in it so they get some context of where it was and can determine to whom it belongs. If one does not put such equipment on one's OWN property, one is asking for it. You won't have to lift a finger after that. I have other ideas, but you GET the idea....

Yeah, they are great. I got an alert two years ago and caught a huge brown bear on my back deck. It was shockingly large for Colorado.

I think in low light conditions they emit a red light to be able to “see”.

My Ring cameras have IR emitters to see in the dark. I can switch the light on if I want color. The IR emitters do give off some visible red light. It is actually a panel of LEDs for the IR emitters.

and strap on a S&W MP 9

My amusement this evening was mounting a Viridian RFX15 to a new S&W M&P 2.0 9mm CarryComp (green dot). I have a new leather holster with a cut-out for the reflex sight. It's going to take some effort to break in as it is very tight directly from the supplier. A green dot helps my grouping with the progressive lenses. Much tighter left/right. Still a small bit of vertical stringing from the inconsistency of the progressive optical "gutter". The tolerance only matters when shooting a slow fire match.

You appear to begetting ready for issues. And I belive that’s great. Just don’t forget. Raw aggression needs met with bare teeth and gun in the midsection double tapping. IMO

So much so that bears love to crunch them.

Over the years I have gotten pictures of a bears open mouth.

Just before he had bitten into them.

I live in a large gated community that is fundamentally Mayberry.

That said, I deployed a camera system in the last year, and have three more in boxes I need to get installed. Need to pull some cable, they’re PoE not WiFi, so can’t be jammed.

This is motivational.

If it was on your land being on a warpath is justified. This could feed info to a cloud (depending on camera) so that local burglars could use. Home invasions are deadly.

Cut it down. Leave a sign with a target: “shooting range, be sure and try to duck”.

No. Just adding to my collection. The issues may happen, but it’s not my focus.

Most people with acreage now have cameras covering all areas of their property. It is a safety issue.

Land owners have found people camping on their property, trespassers hunting, criminals hiding illegal goods etc. Setting up a camera system is a smart thing to do.

When we stay at a hotel or AirBnB, at night with the lights off, use your phone camera and scan the room. If there’s a camera, your phone will pick up a red light.

Nextdoor.com has many stories of such cameras being placed in the neighborhoods here in Chatsworth / San Fernando valley in California. Robbers place the camera in the scrubs and watch your coming and goings then burglarize the home when you are gone.
