Sounds like an awesome deal! Too bad other obligations prevent spending that much on cameras. Thanks for the offer!



Similar to my plan for this weekend. I don't have any old cams to use but I am going to do the camo job with natural foliage from the area around the camera. Going to cover it with masking tape and then spray or use caulk for the sticks and leaves to stick to. That way if the camera ever stops working during the warranty period, I can peel everything off and return it.

For anybody that has had the same issue as me and looking for an idea, I did a camo job on my new cameras. Got the idea from YouTube. I bought a small breaker box that my camera would fit in, and of course cut a hole in the cover to allow the LEDs, lens, and sensors to see out. I painted them dark brown and peeled off some bark from some pine tress. Then hit up my wife for her hot glue gun and with her assistance, we hot glued the bark to the outside of the boxes. Then I drilled holes for the cable to run thru to lock the box to the tree and a hole for a big padlock. I may get some plastic leaves to super glue to the cable to make it look like a vine. I also bought some cheaper cams to point towards my camouflaged cameras to hopefully catch a glimpse of anybody that might try to steal these. The last pic is the one I worry that they'll easily see due to light reflecting off of the LED and lens.

tell the land ownthe p..if this happened too much i might have to rethink staying on that lease..let the people you hunt with know what happened..strength in numbers..its bullcrap i know..if i have to go to that degree in protecting my stuff i would leave that lease..ive had that happen only one time..and it was my fault..i hung a camera on public land..sorry dude!

Looks good....hope these don't walk off.....

Looking good. I've been thinking of doing the same with my lock boxes, its the cable that is camouflaging delima. I have boxes lag screwed into tree, cable locked through box & camera and then padlock on cover. At least they will have to work a little harder to take them.

East Texas. Nuff said... on another topic, you and your BIL are only 200 yards apart?

Yeah, the feeders are. But, he's up and over a hill. There was a lot of timber between us until they clear cut it last year. He usually doesnt hunt that stand when we're both there.

They make some cameras with a gps theft chip now that give its location, they will even notify you if the cameras is moving position, there are also aftermarket devices you can install for those that don't have this yet.

set a tripwire close to camera - look for perp with brown stains on his pants

Mini Flashbang 126dB (10pk) - A THUNDEROUS 126 dB report with a dazzling 3' muzzle flash!! Equal to an actual blast. Designed for the 12 Gauge Trip Alarm

What could possibly go wrong with this device? Might be an issue if someone does not know the difference between a blank and a real 12 Gauge shell.

I wish you could mount that inside the camera with an ink-pack in the end of the cartridge such that if the camera is pulled from the tree, the cartridge fires the black ink pack in the face of whoever is removing it, and on their clothes, and all over anything else they might have on their person at the time. Maybe that will deter the thieving bastards from putting their hands on what does not belong to them.

I bet if we all got creative we could come up with ways to really put a damper on sticky-finger dip-[censored]..

I would have a memory card stolen every now and then over several years at one particular stand. I put all my old or broken trail cameras up at random places around that stand. Only one or two are working cameras. I no longer have my cards stolen. Perhaps they got bored opening cameras to find no batteries or cards in them. I have got pictures of what I assume are hog doggers on the working ones, but always on the move, so too blurry or dark to identify.

I like this idea!!




Spraying their sorry @$$ with black ink would be hilarious. Catching on video would be priceless

Reminds me of this classic video..

If y’all rig up an anti personnel device, you’ll certainly find out who the perp is as you fill out a very large check paying off a lost law suit.

Hence the reason that there's a 100% chance that I won't be doing that....as funny as it would be.

Hope you get it figured out

2 years ago a couple of buddies and I went to Idaho hunting. One of the guys who was letting us hunt his land asked if I would remove the cam and bear box from a particular setup the bears weren't hitting anymore. Well, some idiot(ME) forgot the drill and everything to remove it. I had to shoot the lock off with my pistol. I hooked the side by side up to id, nd event in 4wd, I couldn't pull it off!! they're worth every penny!!
