Wisconsin Board To Consider Trail Camera Policy

The state Natural Resources Board is set to consider whether to allow people to leave trail cameras on public lands.

The Department of Natural Resources currently prohibits storing personal property on public lands. The agency says that policy blocks people from leaving trail cameras overnight.

But agency officials say they've gotten requests for permission to leave the cameras in the woods as their popularity grows. They've presented the board with a draft order that would allow cameras overnight between Sept. 1 and the end of the archery deer season if the cameras are secured to prevent theft and owners allow the DNR to move them if necessary.

The board is scheduled to consider the order at a meeting on Wednesday in Madison.

Huh. I cant believe anybody would chance leaving a camera out on public.

Ive been running cams on public ground for 5 years. Never had an issue with it.... I almost think private ground is worse because if someone sees it that is not supposed to be there that camera is gone.

Good point. Ive seen some on public before and almost feel sorry for the owner thinking the next guy that walks past it wont even hesitate to take it. Maybe because I have had stands stolen on that land I guess.
