Moultrie Cam Upgrade

[NY911Bowhunter]

By popular demand;

Take 1 Moultrie trail cam.....

I bought 2 steel bars, with holes in them - and eye bolts from Tractor Supply.



I covered the sensitive parts of the cam with tape, and smeared Liquid Nails around it, making a 3D textured surface . I left the section where the bar will go empty, then built up a lip, so the camera could not be pulled up or down through the bar.





I painted the bar after texturing that too, as well as a stout cable lock;



Finally, once the camo was dried, I painted it with camo spray paint and some smaller brushed on paint.

LOOKS GREAT!!!!! Maybe that will deter potential thieves!!!

if you just cut the eye bolts..isnt the cam .."GONE"???
just my observation...

Nice job, maybe no one could see it. Like Martin says, if someone wanted it bad it would be gone. Really a shame we have to lock our cams.

I think anything to slow them down will help.
Id say 95% of all thieves will not bother if they have to work at it.
Unless they come prepared then its another story and like the old saying goes, if they want it its gone.
However I feel its better having it on the tree with more then bungee cords IMHO.
At least this way it is not a 2 second steal.

I would suggest gettign a vibrating etcher or scribe and scribing your name and info on the back vs a sheet taped on. That can be removed easily.
Scribing can too but then there is obvious damage where it was.

Nice textured camo job BTW...

I dont know I had a cuddeback stolen off a tree. The person had to work pretty hard to take it and it was on a field edge. Well actually the broke the case, so they worked with it a bit to do that.


But something is better than nothing.

Doesn't the flash give away it's location? But hey you might as well try. It is yours that you paid for with your money.
