DisQuoi Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 Today, Bish emailed me that while he never found my cache, he did find something in the vicinity. I can only hope it's intended to capture wild life. It would bother me if someone is covertly watching my cache. [This message was edited by DisQuoi on October 06, 2003 at 12:08 PM.] Quote
+TMAN264 Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 I put it there in case a group of nude lumberjacks walk by. I sell the pics on EBAY. Make a sanity check. Quote
+geospotter Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 The sensors in these devices have a very short range, usually only about 20 ft. So if it was farther away than that, it's for wildlife. Quote
+pater47 Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 That's a camera that Wal-Mart sells for 68 bucks. Although the advertised range is 20 -30 feet, my latest roll from one of them picked up a tractor from over 40 yards away. They work only if it detects motion and heat. I guess the heat that a big tractor gives off was enough for it. If someone set it up in a area that humans frequent,it ain't gonna last long - and even if it doesn't get stolen, some folks may choose to leave some rather interesting shots!

+kevin917z Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 people in my area use those cameras for taking pictures of deer, the camera marks the time on the picture too so a hunter will know when a deer comes through, if it was meant to spy on people i bet it would be better camoflauged as it doesnt need to be hidden very well for viewing deer and other animals Quote
+Bull Moose Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 Is it on public property? Woo-hoo free camera at N 38° 59.886 W 077° 21.731. Just kidding. Swiping the camera wrong. If it is someone scouting deer or something he's going to be confused enough when all he finds are a lot of pictures of people wandering around looking at a GPSr. Quote
Captain Chaoss Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 would be mean, but I'd find a set of HUGE antlers, and get the camera to trip as if the rest of the deer was just out of the shot. Two roads diverged in the woods and I, I took the one less traveled, and that is how I found the cache. Quote
+canadazuuk Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 You just never know where one of those may turn up!! Quote

Better yet, take a colored picture of a deer in the woods, attach it to a wire frame and then attach the frame in front of the camera so he would always see the same deer Quote

Almost worth a visit to try and figure out which way the thing is pointed and how close it is to the actual cache. I'll admit that it would be quite a coincidence of being placed close to the cache since that area is quite large. Ofcourse, you can't post the coords to the camera as that would ruin the whole puzzle of the cache. Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Drop back 10 and ........trip over the cache.

His coordinates were ~80 feet from the actual cache. He said the camera was 30-50 meters from his coordinates. So the camera may be right next to the cache or 200 feet from the cache. You're right, Gary, I need to check it out for myself. Quote

+DustyJacket Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 Maybe the camera is a really neat cache container........ DustyJacket Not all those that wander are lost. But in my case... Quote
mckee Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 Tonight, strip down to nothing and put on a pair of those fake Christmas reindeer antlers. Streak past with a haunted, fearful look in your eyes. Repeat as necessary. -------------------- Would you like some cheese with your whine? Quote

DARC Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 I've been thinking of using one of those trail cameras for my first cache. Mostly to catch pirates and trashers. The photograph provided doesn't appear to be hidden against two leged vermin so probably a hunter scouting out an area. The quantity of humans in the picture should discourage that idea. Quote
+Sparrowhawk Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 What is the name of that kind of camera is that so that one can Google for it? 5 minutes later: Never mind... "game camera". -Elana (a.k.a. "Sparrowhawk") Quote
Captain Chaoss Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 LOVED the bigfoot costume idea. Course, the reindeer antler streaker would be one to end all practical jokes. Two roads diverged in the woods and I, I took the one less traveled, and that is how I found the cache. Quote
