Title: Camera Security in Sage Country
Post by: yote on February 14, 2013, 11:47:26 PM: I tried doing a search on here to find out how people secure their game cameras in sage country, but I had no luck... I just screwed it in to the biggest/well placed sage brush I could find and covered it up the best I could without hindering the camera lense :dunno:
What do you all do??

Post by: NOCK NOCK on March 08, 2013, 08:14:37 PM: Something I'm gonna try....Build a birdhouse out of greyed wood and hide the cam inside it.
There are always birdhouses out and about and most people dont look that close at them.

Post by: Dan-o on March 12, 2013, 07:04:23 PM: I like the bird house idea, but I bet in sage someone would wander up to it.

Sadly, in my experience, if enough people see it, it is gone.

I hunt some public property that gets a fair amount of traffic. I've has 3 stolen in the past 3 years. Thieves suck.... That is why I buy those super cheap $30 cameras. I'd be real pissed if they stole an expensive one.

That reminds me...It's time to get my camera out there again, before some ringy bird decides to build a nest in my lock box. (Just took the camera, and left the box) :chuckle:
