Title: Finished Bear Boxes for a D-40
Post by: Jason on July 30, 2009, 09:54:28 PM: Here's a few boxes I just finished for the Moultrie D-40, 1/8" steel, I made two boxes that attach to the tree with a ratchet strap and have holes in the box for a Python lock for security, and the other box is attached by a strap/pyhton or 1/2 lag bolts.

Post by: Jason on July 31, 2009, 04:38:58 PM: Thanks for the compliments guys, I have two more boxes in the works now, and more if requested.
The boxes in the pics I notched out the box so I could put the hinges on the inside to make it look cleaner, would it matter to you guys if I put the hinges on the outside? trying to cut some fab time on these boxes, this would keep costs down all around.

their around $60.00, you can use a ratchet strap to attach and python lock for security or 1/2" lag bolts.

Not sure how much they weight, maybe 7-8lbs, I can make others if I have access to the cams, I'm not much of a painter either, PM me with what you have or need.

I have no prob making a donation, I'll see what I can do from each cam, I'm not doing to many of these right now, but this winter I'll be concentrating on them more.

Title: Re: Finished Bear Boxes for a D-40
Post by: Crunchy on October 16, 2009, 08:20:19 PM: Nice work Jason. I dont own a trail cam because of all the stories of them getting stolen. Looks like you might have found a good solution.
Title: Re: Finished Bear Boxes for a D-40
Post by: bowhunterforever on October 17, 2009, 01:05:25 AM: How do you lock to the tree with just using a rachet strap?I'm not sure what you mean buy python lock? :dunno:
Title: Re: Finished Bear Boxes for a D-40
Post by: Jason on October 17, 2009, 04:32:33 AM: you attach the box to the tree with a ratchet strap and then to secure it from theft you run your python lock through the holes in the box and around the tree. I'll get some more pics up soon.

yeah bears are pretty hard on them, but more than anything the boxes are used to keep humans from packing out with your camera.
nothing worse than being all excited to see what images your cam has captured, only to show up and your cam is gone :bash: .

Post by: seth30 on April 20, 2010, 06:53:28 PM: Yeah I can imagine, its not only the money that you spent, but the time and the waiting!

Post by: loaderboy on May 24, 2010, 07:04:27 PM: I built mine for my reconyx and instead of using lag bolts I cut the threads off a couple of tree steps and welded nuts on the end they thread in way easier. nice boxes.

It just sits in there, no straps or anything to hold it in other than the door.
