Camera Security in Sage Country
« on: February 14, 2013, 11:47:26 PM »
I tried doing a search on here to find out how people secure their game cameras in sage country, but I had no luck... I just screwed it in to the biggest/well placed sage brush I could find and covered it up the best I could without hindering the camera lense  :dunno:

That is cool if you have private property but on public it still would be easy for someone to steal
If its brown knock it down

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Something I'm gonna try....Build a birdhouse out of greyed wood and hide the cam inside it.
There are always birdhouses out and about and most people dont look that close at them.

I wonder how many pissed off birds you'll get on your trail cam... :chuckle:

I like the bird house idea, but I bet in sage someone would wander up to it.

Sadly, in my experience, if enough people see it, it is gone.

I hunt some public property that gets a fair amount of traffic.   I've has 3 stolen in the past 3 years.   Thieves suck....  That is why I buy those super cheap $30 cameras.   I'd be real pissed if they stole an expensive one.

That reminds me...It's time to get my camera out there again, before some ringy bird decides to build a nest in my lock box.  (Just took the camera, and left the box)  :chuckle:
