Public Land Trail Cam Etiquette

You find a trail cam on public land, do you...

If I found PBR I would leave it for the bears.

I don't touch trail cams.

I have lost 2 cameras in the last 3 years. In each case there was a picture of the same guy on nearby cams. Cams were 40 air miles apart in different districts, and one was 6 miles in. Both were pointed at horse trails (which actually pisses me off when other people do it) so I am not real surprised. I have no clue who the guy is.

If I could get the cam or the card back, I would pick the card.
 
So far 1/4 would pull the card and return as normal. The vast majority, 2/3 would not touch it all - fair. 1/20 people would likely not show their face, but leave evidence of a red rocket or moon.

Kinda figured it would be along these lines. I would say, after the comments of this thread, that the ethics and legality of it is definitely a bit shady. But if anyone finds my cams and checks the cards, please put in new batteries in haha.
 
Make sure you carry a little card for the cam that says "you're a ***" when you drop the batwing lol.

Bad enough you gotta watch you back taking a deuce in the woods without someone getting an instant update on their cell cam.
