Anti-theft?

[puffy]

Has anyone found a good way to conceal your game cameras from others and still allow the camera its normal field of view or at least its best posssible. I am concerned about people stealing them if they are not almost completely hidden.

Nope. Doesnt seem to matter. If someone wants it bad enough they will take it.

one thing I do if I need to keep it safe is either put it on the ground in the brush with a window of veiw. or you can put it up high in a tree pointing down where people are most likely not to see it. those are just some of the things I do.

Due to the trees we cannot see it from the house, but our leaf river camera is less than 200 yards from the house as a crow flies, I do have a python cablelock on it. If someone really wanted it bad enough, they could get it. Guess I could try and hide it.

Something I did do before the first time putting it out was to write my name all over the inside of the camera with permanent sharpie markers, probably ought to etch it in too, but didnt. Wrote my name behind where the batteries go as well, just in case.

I have mine on private land and all our neighbors are cool. The only time it get worried about them is during hunting season because we have a part of a woods that connects with public land. Usually I just put them up somewhere else then.

The few times I had a camera up in public land, I python locked it as high as I could standing on a log pointing down and I'm 6'4". And with my 3d camo, you can barely see the camera if you're looking. Most people just pass under without even seeing it.

Bushes with a window for a view here also.

After setting up your camera take a pic with you holding a sign saying.If card or film was dropped off for developing by anyone other then the guy in the pic please contact the phone # on the sign.Camera was stolen and I'd like to talk to the guy getting the film developed.

know a lot of people that use to do something like that. but with digital now it doesnt work. Since all you have to do is take it home to your computer and view and or print pics.

all my neighbors are family except one so i just put it anywhere except by his line

I like your suggestion deershed as I am using a 35mm game camera. I guess putting it up high helps also. Maybe I'll try some tree steps and place it up at about 8 ft. and angle it. Thanks for the input everyone.
