 :yeah: and it isn't a joke because they WILL eat/destroy/steal cameras.  Security boxes work well for bears or taking a panel of 1x1/2 hardware cloth and screwing it over the front of the camera.  A bear can still wreck this but flossing with wire is unpleasant enough that I haven't had any ruined like this.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

 I think the eye in the 2nd pic is too big for a bear. I think it's an elk also.
