I used to carry a multi-position ladder a mile into the woods on public ground, install $30 Walmart cameras 15-20 feet up trees without low-hanging branches set back at least 30 yards from a field edge or walking trail, and secure them with cables and padlocks...and they would still be stolen every fall.
This is a secluded, low-traffic place where I've seen maybe 2 other hunters in the 8 years I've hunted there.
I've given up putting out cameras. I've hunted here for so long I know the property and where the deer move, the cameras were just to track individual bucks since in-person scouting was logistically impractical.
I tape leaves to and around my cameras. The human eye picks up on the straight lines and angles of man made objects especially in the woods. I’ve never lost a camera camouflaged with leaves.
That's a great tip. Thanks for sharing!
Can't stand finding trail cameras when all we're trying to do is escape people and tech when hiking/camping. We disperse camp in the backcountry for this reason. We've setup our entire campsite before only to find a damn camera pointed at us. Usually twist them in a different direction, then twist them back when we leave. I know there's no expectation of privacy in public, but when you hike 4+ miles into the woods off-trail just to sit down next to a cam, it's infuriating. Learn to hunt and track without cameras... jeez.
