The guy that hunts here with me made us some game camera holders. Not too many straight mesquites around here. What do y'all think?

Very serious. I just have some outa electrical conduit. Pigs like tumping them over occasionally.

Looks like they should work. I find T post mounting clips work well too

Will they spin around if bumped by a cow? Cows keep me busy with my cameras on my lease

set them in or near cactus and the pigs/cows will be less likely to mess with them

Very little pear on my place, I sprayed mine several years ago. But I have a plan, they'll be fine.

I made mine out of a 4' section of a treated 4x4 in a 5 gallon bucket filled with sand- "easy" to move around but I don't have to worry about cows knocking them over.

Looks good, might have been better if he used square metal tubing so the back of the camera would flush up to it better.

Iike the holders...looks great. If I make a camera stand I would expand the width of the base to keep them from toppling over.
