I have always looked at the good in people because most of us are decent people. Went north this weekend to visit my parents and just to check on things. Took a ride to my huntcamp in behind the Kearney area. I would have no issue if someone needed a tarp for shelter or firewood or a bottled water. We leave this all out for anyone coming by but when someone for no apparent reason decides to smash windows somehow move the steel bars I have there and that I need to figure out and in the end take a deck of cards and a few rolls of toilet paper. To the people that did this, I have you on film. My cameras are well hiddin and they were untouched. They will be passed on to the OPP. I hope it was worth it to you. For my dad who saw this at 88 years of age, who had this camp since his dad was young it just hurts. I can deal with it cause I know there are bad people out there but for him, its devastating. How can people just simply be so rotten. It is a sad state of affairs

I hope the perps are caught. So disgusting.
As my family real estate agent said to my family when we bought the cottage, “lock it but don’t lock it to well. They just do more damage if they are coming in anyway.”

That sucks, man.
We may or may not have a problem with people using isolated camps here. Actually we know of one fellow who had to rip his boathouse down.. his camp is tucked into a little bay, road access but an "out of the way" kinda place. Kids were using the boathouse to hangout, drink and have fires.
There is a cabin up the shoreline from us. Boat access, no hydro. You wouldn't know there was a camp there if it weren't for the dock. We're not even sure who owns it anymore.. but we see random boats moored at the dock. They never stay long.. always different boats. We were fishing there a couple years ago during the week. Kayak at the dock. Evening, no lights. We could hear someone rummaging around. Went back in the morning and the kayak is now pulled up into the bushes. They left that day.
Our camp is also boat access. But clearly visible with hydro. Not far from the mainland but no camps on the other side. We've had benches moved, propane tanks and axes taken, the tp in the outhouse go missing... no break ins but we suspect people pull in to use the beach when no one is around. Kind of unnerving. I had a trail cam out last summer. Didn't get anything but no incidents either. The bench was odd. Like someone came in, hung out a while but moved it to what they felt was a "better" spot.

Yeah that happens unfortunately... hopefully the OPP do something about it and not just sit on it like I've seen before with stolen property and destruction to private property.
