The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and Kentucky State Police Post 10 have issued a warning that IEDs have been found in Harlan County.

Back in June, OutdoorHub published an article about officials investigating explosive rigged game cameras in Kentucky.

The public safety advisory, issued Monday, warns that some of the trail cameras were found abandoned on paths in rural areas near the Dave Smith Drainage Area, on the Little Black Mountain Spur in Harlan County.

These IEDs were designed to explode when a person inserted batteries into the trail camera, while others were set to explode by a trip wire leading to the trail cameras.

This was a problem in Arkansas, just a few miles west of Little Rock some 20 years ago also, before trail cameras were available. Haven't heard anything new in recent years. I would think that pot fields are more common now than they were 20 years ago.

This definitely sounds like the work of Boyd Crowder.
