You fellas that run cams on public, what’s your best advice to keep the thieves off of them?
I just bought two of the spypoint micros for that! Hoping for the best!Hang them high and hope for the best. I run 28 dollar tasco 8mp cameras. They only last a couple years but I can have 4 stolen for the price of one good cam. I really want a few cellular cams to hang in July and let them go until post season scouting but I can’t bring myself to do it.
I built several of these. It is more difficult to access and check the card, but worth it. It’s not completely fool proof, but definitely more secure and a deterrentThis wasn't my idea but I thought it was genius. Lag bolt these into a large tree and pad lock it. They are not completely tamper resistant but it is pretty good. For $7 at Home Depot + styrofoam you have laying around.
This is my plan! As soon as I get a picture of another person, it’s time to move it!I take the risk and hang cell cams on public. But I most always do 12 ft high and it's always pretty deep in. If I see a human show up on the cam, I move it that day. It's only happened in two spots so far. For me its worth the risk to be confident I am on some deer.
