Title: Security box Camo!
Post by: BowForElk on November 28, 2012, 10:28:37 AM: Got my security box in the mail yesterday and decided to shoot some flat green/brown on it but afterwards decided that wasn't good enough! Got some moss while I was out hunting this morning and figured that would do the trick!

You guys got any pictures of your creative camp setups ?

You just gotta smear it on kind of thick and push the moss down on it so it gets into all the layers of the moss. Ill get a picture of it later today when I mount it to the tree (which is also covered in moss) and see how well it blends. Its mostly for human deterrent.. I just had a camera stolen last week so I'm trying to avoid that!!

Sorry bout the stolen camera some people just cant leave things alone. I put all my cameras in boxes due to the fact that I have lost a few to bears chewing them up. I think they are a great deterent to thieves as well since they would have to work harder to steal them!

And its going into some timber so you'll have to be right on top of it to see it anyway so I'm hoping nothing happens except for tons of deer/elk walking by it!!!

Post by: BowForElk on December 01, 2012, 11:34:35 AM: Well the moss is from the same location. The problem is I pulled the moss a couple days ago and it has since died a little and turned lighter which is to be expected. I think it looks pretty good but its also pretty deep in some timber so i don't think theft or vandalism is gonna be an issue this time around. But I do gotta keep an eye on it cause I believe that area is about to get logged!! Gosh that would suck!

Also how do I get make it so my pictures aren't posted sideways?
