I can't find anything saying its illegal. Does anyone know if it is or not? I understand if it is allowed that it would be at my own risk but i would rather have a camera taken than deal with DNR. Thanks!
Not allowed to "leave" anything on public land - trail cam, stand, etc

I hunted that little piece of public land in Crownsville, Bacon Ridge? There is so much surveyors tape that you can't actually follow one set of tapes because there are so many different ones.

I do that and I've also attached a note to the back of it that says "Smile! Did you find my other camera too, *******?"
I only have one camera.

I hunted that about two years ago and you ain't kidding. There is orange ribbon and sent canister everywhere. That was the first and last time I hunted public land
Old thread bump. So we never determined if it was illegal to leave cameras on public land.
Err, it appears to be a citeable offense. Can't leave a stand up overnight either. Best guess, if DNR finds it, they'll confiscate it and you probably shouldn't call them to find out if they've seen your camera.

You can't leave things on public land; it's littering. And you shouldn't leave things on public land because the land is for everyone to use and enjoy. Practically speaking, if you put out a trail cam discretely and take it down after a few weeks or months, no one is going to bother you. If you put it up in an obvious place, someone might take it. If law enforcement officer witnessed you setting up or taking down a trail camera, I suppose you could get a citation.
Mowing grass into the road is litter....don't do that.No. Trail cam is not litter and it is ok. Don't worry about it.
