Pity, ah well back to your trail cam I suppose…Amazing how nasty/awkward/weird some people are!

I've just purchased one last weekend going to get it up this week, just need to try n get it far enough away not to b spotted but to still photograph the culprit
If it was her and I can catch her on camera would the police be able to do anything or would she just get a slap on the wrist and left to keep plaguing me??
can you find something that looks like it could be a camera to put up in an obvious place then stick your real one up to catch whoever it is? If it is an emergency access gate, maybe it's got a stronger penalty???
This and similar products could prove useful Hidden CCD Baseball Cap Camera
Hope she's not on sd.
I think CSL's idea of a cheap sacrificial camera a better bet. If I were up to no good (perish the thought
) and noticed what looked to be a camera which upon inspection/destruction I realised to be a dummy, I think my first thought would be to look a little harder for the real one….and trash that as well….Alan
An offence of criminal damage has been committed by so doing. Maybe another padlock with a concealed trail cam to cover it?

My thoughts as well!
Pity you don't live near me (kind of glad you don't!) as i have a faulty 'sacrificial' trail camera you could have put up to be filmed by your new one.
Dog walkers, not all are bad, just a few bad apples, as an example i was fishing yesterday, i accept as i am difficult to see wading in the river sometimes a stick will be thrown in for the dog, then the owner realises and will apoligise, not yesterday, dog came bounding in, i tried to shoo it out but that just encouraged it, she came along with a friend, i didn't say anything but you could see she was really annoyed i had shouted at the dog, when i got back to my pickup i assume it was her who left a load of rubbish on the roll top cover!
My late friend dealt with the problem in a different manner, guy threw stick in front of him in the river, spaniel jumped in, my mate asked him to please not do that, and my friend walked downstream ( my late friend was ex marine and 6' 2'') to fish another area, along came the guy again, this time threw stick at my mate, my mate got out of the river, didn't say anything, walked up to dog walker, felled him with one punch! i said what did the guy do? my mates answer was 'nothing, he just stayed down bleeding!', just to clarify my mate was not a gun owner and i do not condone what he did!

Hi scubadog, I know the op wasn't talking about Scotland but I kinda jumped in and hijacked the thread a little and the said pest is defo up in scotland.m so she does have the right to roam but her dogs were most definitely not under control. She roars and shouts at them all the way up the road you can hear her coming from a mile away!! She is walking along a private forestry track and although she isn't breaking the law she is causing damage ie the out of control dogs jumping all over me and my parked up car which she denies. I would have absolutely no objections if she walked up the road quietly with the dogs under control but they are 300 yards away from her out working in the ruff where I'm trying to shoot and as stated above the will b stressing out heavily pregnant does and no doubt in the next few weeks the fill get hold of a kid in the cover. I know there's not much I can do but I will go down the sign route and will film any further encounters with her. Just had a bit of a rant had to get of my chest but i Spose these type of people are sent to test us
To commit an offence under the dog legislation requires a dog to be dangerously out of control, not simply out of control by means of not being on a lead or romping around the forestry.
Unless in a designated area, there is no trespass offence in Scotland.
By what I have read, you simply have a grumpy old croan letting her dogs have a run whilst your out stalking.
I don't deny a royal pain in the posterior, but a criminal offence it's not, the padlock on the other hand clearly is, but proving it will be night on impossible.
Talk of letting tyres down and unmoderated .243s is a bad idea, especially as two of the FEOs who cover your area are members of the SD.
I appreciate nevertheless it must be hell of a frustrating.

Once upon a time the solution to this was to shoot the dog and then get your mate the farmer to drop round a trailer full of sheep before the police turned up 
The other alternative is some nice big dragons teeth in the gateway, about sump height (white plastic tubs filled with concrete do this well)- or some scaffold pole sections doing the same - few leaves scattered over and it should be a nice surprise when she pulls in to the gateway at early o'clock
crafty sod I knew years ago closed off a gateway with dug in scaffold pole sections with traffic cones on top... the number of people who decided to just push them out of the way with the bumper instead of getting out and moving them
