trail cam follies

[Boar]

Never heard this one before but a coworker of mine came to work this morning, pretty disgruntld. Apparently he went to check his trail cam on friday an couldnt find it right away, after a quick investegation it was foundout that he had set is cam in a small cluster of youn aspen an the one tree he attached his cam to which was about 6 inches diameter, was cut down by a beaver an an then drug to the lodge where he found the cam still attached to the tree totally submerged an ruined. Funny, but not funny.

"I tell ya, there oughta be a bounty on them beavers!"

[matchset]

Get the Duck Commander boys up there start hunting those dang beavers

[sticknstring]

Ha - that's one of the funniest things I've heard all week!

Don't tell him I said that.

[paceman]

Oh Man that is bad luck!

I guess the moral of the story is. Put camera on big tree so beaver can't drag it to the water and hope that it doesn't get smashed when the tree comes down. Maybe a person should start a trailcam insurance company. I wonder if there would be a market for it?

Can you imagine the opportunity for fraud & abuse by owners on that one? Oh man, my 6 year-old el cheapo camera got destroyed by a bear... Can I get the money to go towards a new one?

[Bear55]

That is a new one, only funny if its not your cam!

[ozzie]

I bet there were some interesting pics on that cam prior to being submerged but couldn't they still pull the card or does that get ruined also?

[nofishfisherman]

Thats pretty funny no matter who you are.

If it were my camera I'm pretty sure I'd be laughing pretty hard. What else could you do besides laugh?

[Finlander]

That's funny right there now! I had a tree stand in a tree and after the storm winds blew all the trees down, I couldn't tell which tree it was in! I couldn't even get close to it!

[bigbucks]

We still have a permanent stand in a huge basswood tree that uprooted two years ago, that the floor's now perpendicular to the ground instead of parallel. If we could stand the tree back up the stand's still completely undamaged...

[Boar]

Yea I still laugh about it, the card is gone too.
