Is anyone else nervous of setting trail cams in the snow. I'm afraid that someone will follow my tracks to my cameras. If I know it's going to snow a lot and cover my tracks I'm less worried. I've been lucky in that I have never had one stolen. Anyone else cautious with cams in the snow? If you have any special tricks to keep others off your tracks, let me know.
It's something I have had to deal with every year. I typically drive past my walk in spot and walk back in the truck tracks. I try to leave the road where ferns or branches raise up the snow and walk in any bare patch or easily disguisable areas. I will often walk in circles and then cut across them to get to the camera. In one spot I park right at the trail and jump from the road into and under a low fir branch. Sometimes I drive back down the road out of the snow ruts to go over any extra tracks.
Sometimes I just leave them until the snow melts. :chuckle:
