Keys and more keys
« on: August 11, 2012, 03:59:05 PM »
So I have the tamper proof cover to the Bushnel locked and I treaded a one quarter inch wire cable through the box, which has a weatherproof tamper proof lock on it.
Due to the length of the cable, I only can wrap it around trees less than three feet in diameter. I guess if they really want to steal it, they will have to cut down the tree with a chain saw.
I am testing an inexpensive trail camera over on the side of the yard. There are big bucks going thru there.
I am getting one of those primos 46 ultras. Note that if you order through Bass Pro, there is no shipping charge and no sales tax.
I need the time lapse feature. During the summer not much wind, but in the fall, there is a lot of wind where I hunt and I can't find a spot where branches won't trigger the camera.

Question, have you tried mounting the camera on an overhanging large limb? The camera would be pointing down.

I just use lag bolts.  got my lock box lagged into a 6 inch tree.  If someone wants it that bad, they'll get it no matter what you use.  Fortunately, my camera is where nobody goes anyway....
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

Well, I apparently put the camera too close. The animal passed before the camera took a picture.
I have now set it back a dozen feet.
Hopefully, I will get a nice set of raccoon pics. I plan to soak it for a week this time.

I get a lot of pictures of the empty site.  Finally got a picture of one of the culprits...
