    Default Securing trail cams????

    I posted this in the Equipment Room but thought Id get better response here...

    I normally use an old 7.62 ammo can but my new Moultrie 2.1 is a tad big for one. I want to secure it better then a simple lock and chain/cable attached to the plastic housing.
    I would like a metal case at minimum.
    I know they make things like this for bear protection or whatever but I cant seem to find it online.
    Anyone know where I can find something like this?
    Thanks.

    Have it secured with a Cable Lock and then a Bike cable lock also.

    Believe me, the more you try to beef up protection, the more the thief wants it. I have saw several cases where the unit has been shot or dismembered since they could not walk off with it easily.

    You know that is really sad . A true shame that there are those kinds out in the same woods we hunt and not only do they thieve, but those are also the ones likely to poach who give us all a bad rap. Makes me sick .

    Just cannot understand what some people think, or why they dont think.
