Title: Trail camera questions?
Post by: HUNT on July 08, 2009, 01:53:18 PM: Do you use a cable and lock on your cameras?

How about a bear security box?

Few more questions for ya Trail Cam Pro's....

Do you use the flash for your cam or leave it off?

How do you attach the security box to the tree? just the lock hold it there? Or do you nail it?

Thanks guys

Puttin the cam out sat morning.....

You don't have to lag it to the tree(some on here will whine if you do) but use small screws to position it then use the Python lock and you are good to go.
For me it's flash on as I would hate to miss a nightime shot or if you have a no flash cam its all good. try some apples, honey, mineral block to enhance your chances
