strong box, all in pieces any coments before the weld starts

    That or you'll get sued when they throw their back out once the detach it from the tree.

I LIKE THE 12 GA IDEA. THAT WAY ALL YOU FIND IS AN ARM OR 2 . FIND AN ARM AT YOURE CAM OR FIND IT GONE.

That should work good Grizzly. Looks similar to the Moultree lock box. A bunch of you must have had your cameras stolen before to be so parinoid. I can't remember the last time I say anyone running around the woods packing a prybar and a cordless metal cutting skill saw. LOL The best place to put a camera is NOT on a main trail. Trees are the first place a thief will look for a camera.

  You are absolutely right, no one walks around in the woods with bolt cutters or saws, BUT they darn sure might be packing them a week later when they return. Give some weekender a week to think and plan, and your camera is GONE.
  Lets say Grizzly works cheap, and he builds me a lock box for $30 including shipping. Then I buy a case hardened  bolt cutter-proof lock for $20. I still need chain and cable or lag bolts. Have you ever twisted a 3/8" lag bolt into with a ratchet. I guess you better make sure your lag bolts are not made in China. Lets say I get every thing for $60. I have six cameras now. Do I have to buy this stuff six times, that is $360. I can build three cameras for that. Have you seen the radical prybars and crowbars they make these days. Give me a week to think and plan, and I will top Nicholas Cage. Your camera will be gone in 30 seconds.
  I protect my cameras with my brain, and in five years, I have never lost one.

Maybe my mind is too devious but if you upset someone with an irremovable camera, couldn't you expect some other damage?  My first thought is a screwdriver through the lens of the camera and through the fresnel lens.  I guess you might be able to reuse the pelican case and the battery still.

I often think the same thing, but at least the SOB doesn't get a cam. I guess I feel that if they are gonna take they can have after they screw it up.
