I've had a few trail cams stolen in the past off the Arizona Strip , the most recent was in early september of last year . There are alot of Muley Crazy members as well as the Muley Crazy crew that are dedicated to the Arizona Strip Region whom leave there Trail Cams out in certain areas . Im certain we all share the same related issue/problem of our cams stolen as Ive talked to a few Guides etc that have had similar problems . Well Ive gotten fedup w/ this problem and Im certain those that relate are pissed off as well .It really sucks to come back your site where you've left your camera to find it gone, after having the high hopes of catching that Giant Buck on camera . Let alone the cost of the camera's, batteries, sd cards , time , fuel etc. It adds up immensely and is not cheap !!!
We need to look out for each other, we all have and share the same passion . We can all be a tight niche group and police these problems ourselves . For my 2 cents, this is what I've initiated for everyone to benefit as well as give some peice of mind while your Cams are sitting on your water hole.
There are 2 main primary routes people use to get out onto the Arizona Strip . Ive placed a camera on each of these roads , and have adjusted each of them to where anyone going up to 45 mph , you're able to get description of vehicle and plate ID #'s , whether there coming or going from the strip . Tested thoroughly w/ my fourwheeler and truck . Second and foremost . Ive researched and invested $8500 .00 in my bushnell, reconyx, and stealth cams, remodifying them w/ a satellite transmitters and software , which enables every triggered image going straight to my computer . These satellite transmitters and software come from the Garmin Oregon 550T hand held . In all actuality, it is easy to integrate your trail cam to these Garmin Gps units . When you open your account through Garmin , you can then insync your unit to your computer . The Oregon 550 T comes w/ a built in camera which the photos will give you the precise coordinance of location . I figured, why couldnt you take the software and satellite transmitter and integrate it to your trail cam ? Yes it was expensive to do but now I've got satellite trail cameras. Here I am at home , viewing each individual image taken per camera , having time and date and battery life stamp on each , also if the camera is taken it can be tracked down , followed and recovered . So , for all those that read this, pass it on . Anyone have any problems w/ stolen cams this season and on , please email me . The chances are , they likely drove by one of the 2 placed cameras Ive got set on the main roads .
