This bear at the log is eating up the oats,corn,alfalfa pellets mix that I laid out for the deer. The other one is messing with the camera. No harm to cam - this time. I will have to bear proof it.

So did you ever bear proof the cam? if so how?

I use a Moultrie security metal camera box.

Never knew they made them [don't go to stores much] good to know if I need one.

I guess the metal box works great with thieves as well, right?

Nothing is safe from thieves, if they want it they will get it. I use chain and padlocks, and I still worry they will be taken.

Some guys put the cams up high in trees 6inch diameter or less ( bear can't climb it) so the bears and thieves are less likely to see it and the deer think the flash is lightning.
