I've had 4 cut from the back with a battery Sawzall most likely, probably didn't even take the dirtbags 60 seconds. I now put cams about 12 up in the trees, no problems period. Not one person has even looked up at them when they walk by, only have had 1 bear make eye contact with one, and he let it be.

I had a cub climb up and mess with one

I accept that risk, totally different feeling than knowing a dirtbag has my stuff! All though it could end in the same actual result of no cam/sd card, chit happens.....

Yup. I had same thoughts although the camera was ok just turned around

I've had three over the past five years I've been getting into trail cams.
Bear got them off the tree ,but always found them in the dirt.
Scratched up or whatever. But they always still work.
And the SD was still there.
Crunchy:
I/we had two stolen last year on trail cams probably 3/4 mile apart. they just popped out the sd card and left the camera. Sad part is that there were some really cool video/pics. Had one video of a really nice bull in a wallow ripping off a nice bugle. Now will likely only use cable locks for my cameras.
Encore 280:
Seems like there was a thread not too long ago about the owner of the cameras put infected SD cards in the cameras. Not a bad idea.

I’m pretty sure you can put a password on ur SD cards so that no one else can access the content. Won’t stop them from stealing them but at least they won’t get anything out of it.

I'll have to Google that thanks.
I didn't really want anybody seeing the big boys on my cam.
