Setting Trailcams in the Snow

[Wea300mag]

Is anyone else nervous of setting trail cams in the snow. I'm afraid that someone will follow my tracks to my cameras. If I know it's going to snow a lot and cover my tracks I'm less worried. I've been lucky in that I have never had one stolen. Anyone else cautious with cams in the snow? If you have any special tricks to keep others off your tracks, let me know.

There is no tricks you have to have a security box with cable to tree its the best defense but if someone really wants it or is out looking to steal them they know how to get them

It's something I have had to deal with every year. I typically drive past my walk in spot and walk back in the truck tracks. I try to leave the road where ferns or branches raise up the snow and walk in any bare patch or easily disguisable areas. I will often walk in circles and then cut across them to get to the camera. In one spot I park right at the trail and jump from the road into and under a low fir branch. Sometimes I drive back down the road out of the snow ruts to go over any extra tracks.

Sometimes I just leave them until the snow melts.
