Collector,

"75% of cameras disappear because of bears". That's an interesting opinion, but based on what I've seen, and have had happen, I would say it's closer to 1%, with the other 99% being X%$%#! thieves! I run a lot of the very noisy Scout Guard SG565's, and the bears usually can't stand them.

I run a lot of cameras,  with 18-20 being out at one given time, and I've only lost (2) because of bears. I've had quite a few mauled, punctured, chewed, but only a few that I actually never found, and that I knew was a bear. All of the rest are from pieces of shizzit, that should have their hands broken, tires shot and anything else to stop them. I can no longer use them in a couple areas for big blacktails. because of these individuals.

I don't run boxes, cables or locks. Just straps. The old Cuddie Pro's were big, and used a screw in the frame, and I loved that set up. I will say that I don't place my camera's in areas where people usually go, but I did lose one this past year up near Coweeman Lake. I couldn't believe it was gone, as it's a long walk where it was at. Either way it sucked, and it was one of my Reconyx 500's, so it was a expensive loss also.

Either way, THIEVES SUCK !

Dude that sucks , if in the future you put a camera out in a spot that could be found maybe put a decoy camera out and then put your good camera in a box that you can lag to a tree that watches your elk or deer trail ad watches your camera, nothing better than to post a pic of dirty, low down pile of human feces pic on the internet for all to see!! My belief is if you get caught stealing you should get a hand chopped off!! I HATE thieves !!! Oh damn do I hate theives !!!
my grandpa always said "if it aint broke dont fix it"

Would be nice if you could plant one with a grenade inside. That sucks.

I hear you there. Had the same thing happen to me they smashed the security box then shot the lock off and proceeded to leave it laying on the ground after removing the SD card. Anyone recognize this guy as he is the one that did it. :nono:.
