I’m about at my wits end with my psycho neighbor. His property a joins mine, he claims some religion that he can’t hunt or eat meat but he’s obsessed with deer. He has the infatuation every deer season that everyone around him is poaching. He is the ultimate harasser to me and other neighbors. Tonight i go out to check my trail cams, i pull the card and it’s not even my sd card. I run only sandisk sd cards and my cameras got some off the wall beat up sd card in it. Unfortunately it wasn’t working in my camera so it didn’t have any pics on it. I don’t know why someone would switch the cards but i’m 99% sure it was him. Anyway, i need some clever ideas to catch this guy. I would really like to catch him and get him for trespassing.

SSS.
And edit...you obviously haven't taught your neighbors respect.
Sounds like this is on you.
Everyone around me knows not to play.
Sounds like you dont have control of your own property and
this guy owns you. Man up.

12 gauge and a slug? Or will that not work?

Just kidding, I'm no help.

^^^That and only works South of the Mason Dixon line, lol!^^^

Set up a cell cam or a hidden cam.

Other well hidden cameras. Watching the original cameras.

Do like the rest of us and put a second camera bout 10 ft up, blended in some aimed at the first camera.

Copy pix then take SD card to Sherriff ofc. Easy peasy.

Takes a ladder, yes

... break a longneck over his head .. wether he did it or not

.... and quit taking pictures and start killing those deer

I thought about killing all of them! That would hit him the hardest!

That is a problem I have also not from neighbors but out of state hunters mostly. I have quite a few security/game cams out and they are pad locked. I also have sings on fence and in spots where they can see the signs. The signs say "camera's in use" and also no trespass sings. Like someone said, you need to place many camera's and in hope you don't catch him on camera but the goal is to keep him off your property, so it may work.

The sign, have made a huge difference.

I would report the incident to your local LEO. They should have a digital forensic examiner that can quickly pull that card up and see if there are any deleted pictures on it. What are the odds he put in a brand new card. If the card was ever used for anything it likely has pictures on it that are sitting in what's called the unallocated space. I could plug that card in, and in 2 minutes tell you if there was anything ever on it. Digital data lasts a long long time. Any LEO that says it's to much work for a trespassing case isn't working hard enough. I cant tell you how many SD cards I have pulled digital data from, some images a decade old. Data is stored as positive and negative electrical charges and will last until something changes it.

And there ya go.Easy peasy.If he didn't do it..neither will any one else after word gets round.Savell gots some good advice sometimes.

Up until this point he does all the harassing from his own property, he’s not stupid, he’s crazy! Define man up? I’m definitely capable, the guy is darn near 75 yrs old. Wouldn’t be a problem wiping the floor with him but then i’m in trouble, probably get sued or thrown in jail, loose my right to buy guns, etc! I’ve also got three young kids i don’t want him messing with if he went for revenge.

Kill the deer and leave the gut pile on him.

Get clumsy and drop a few 330s.

Google how to make a paintball mine. Replace the paint with pure skunk essence. Place it so it gets tripped when they go to check the camera.

Put a well hidden cell cam up high watching the dummy camera.

Deer carcas on his lawn!

Thats Awesome
