I am caretaker for a large farm with a mile of woodsline. Some people have snuck in to the back and set up a large number of game cameras, cut shooting lanes and put out bait. What is stupid is they set up the cameras first, then cut the lanes and put out the bait. We pulled the flash cards and have beautiful pictures of them!
Speaking of game cams, be careful about them in the future. They can be, and have been recently, used to trigger explosives. ATF advisory linked to in the below story.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and Kentucky State Police warn that 12 improvised explosive devices have been found in wooded areas of Harlan County.
The public safety advisory, issued Monday, cautions the devices were found along the Dave Smith Drainage Area– the Woodland Hills Subdivision– on the Little Black Mountain Spur in Harlan County. In at least three of the incidents, the devices were found inside trail cameras and were designed in such a way that they would trigger when batteries were inserted.
In some instances, other items such as paint cans were found in the area and a tree stand has reportedly been booby trapped as well.
The IEDs started popping up back in as far back as March and authorities have been on the lookout all summer.
A joint investigation by federal and local agencies led to the arrest of Mark Sawaf, 39, in June, after a device utilizing a Winchester 9mm shell casing, an unknown explosive material and a detonator, blew several fingers off a local man the month prior. Some of the components had been hot glued together.
