Title: Bear Proof Cam
Post by: Wayne1 on June 26, 2011, 06:13:40 PM: I did this to my cam case about 3 years ago... before I did this, bear were ripping my cam's off of tree's left and right... Since I made the improvement's.. I've taken ton's of bear pic's, but none of em will touch my cam's anymore.... Total cost is around $2.00-$3.00. I drilled pilot holes first, then screwed in the spike's... Just an idea for those that are having bear problem's.

Post by: Wayne1 on June 26, 2011, 06:30:17 PM: nope... no water... pilot hole are small... and the screw's seem to seal it up... have never had a problem with it. And if you wanted extra insurance... you can dab liquid sealer in each hole

Post by: h20hunter on June 27, 2011, 06:17:32 AM: That is EXACTLY what I was planning on doing when I get my cam back from Bushnell. Love it. I was going to combine the spikes with a metal box and put a little epoxy on the outside for water proofing. Cool.
