Depending on how aggressive they are you can also make some door mats with nails/screw and small pieces of 1/4 plywood..............Scott

Lost a board in one unit and a cam in the other. I also had a different bear poke his claw right in the lens of a stealth cam I 390, but I was able to fix that. Last week I was able to check my cams after a month, got some great closeup shots but no damage thanks to the screws........Scott
