Is public area trail cam theft common enough to not bother with a cam?

roper is right; I was just pointing out that there wasn't an expectation of personal ownership to something planted on public land. I wasn't advocating taking anyone else's gear.

I have seen blinds on NF land, so... Expectation, regulation, reality are only slightly related ideas.
 
doofus47, Colorado has no say on NF land as to blinds/trail cams. Units I hunt, FS shut access roads end of third hunts season (mid Nov) till June 15 next year.
 
Don't leave your stuff on public property?
EDIT: that sounds hostile. Let me restate. Its public property therefor expectations you'll keep property that could be considered abandoned there should be minimal.

I've never had a trail camera stolen on public land but one year someone did steal my memory card out of one of my cameras but didn't steal the camera.
 
Dahermit, that was me. I started by comparing the theft of tree stands in an era pre game cameras and inserted the moral societal decay to demonstrate that leaving game cameras on public land will likely result in their theft.
