Do you guys think its worth to go with cables or a box? I just got my first 2 cams from Midway USA. I spent a $100 for both so it won't break my heart if they get stolen. I'm thinking of just using the strap and making sure its camouflaged well.

I would least put a cable around it. Bears even elk and deer will pull on the straps and make it come loose. So you will get pictures of the ground or looking up into the tree’s. Only reason why I use a cable it to hopefully keep it secured to a tree and not down in some drainage from an animal. Now for thieves. Cables will keep the honest person honest. But if some jack wagon wants your camera. Cables or a lock box isn’t gonna stop him. Just slow them down is all.

Buy cheap cams and expect that you will loose a few.  It sucks, I hate having this mentality, but seriously. If you run cams on public land, treat it as a donation to the "common good".
