My landowner asked me to take a look at some cameras that someone set up pointing on to his property. The hunter has permission along the one corner of the section that my landowner doesn't own which consists of a field with a brushy creek line on one of the boundries.
I went out to take a look and found three cameras within a 30 yard stretch where the creek line meets my hunting property. All of the cameras are on fence posts on the property line and aim somewhat towards my landowners property but this is what I found on the corner post.
The photo is facing slightly northwest with due north being the double trees to the right of the post. The cornerpost is on his (the camera owner's) SW corner of the property he hunts. So the camera is aiming totally onto property that he cannot hunt or be on. Technically he probably reached over the post and set the camera so he might not have tresspassed to get it there, but it cannot take a photo on the property that he has to hunt.
Legal? Maybe. Ethical? I sure wouldn't do it.
The other interesting part is that it is one of the cams with the wandering eye. You can see in this photo that it rotated to take my photo as I took a photo of my own. It was kind of creepy feeling, like I was being watched by a robot.
