I agree, find an isolated spot and go. But I also purchased cheaper cameras for the possibility of them getting lifted. If someone wants one, they will take it. A good handsaw would be all it took, even with the python lock and metal box unfortunately (cutting the tree instead). By the way, I know it is not the thread but there are a lot of camera users reading this. Anyone had issues with the sensor on the Moultrie D-55 not picking up game? I have both the D-50 and D-55 and the D-50 seems to do a better job (and is cheaper). As far as outlawing cameras on public land, that is all I am able to hunt and I have limited time to scout so that is an adamant NO from me. This is my first year using them and I now realize they are an absolute must for scouting new country and patterning game with limited time. To me, the risk of them disappearing is worth the reward of finding new animals and good country.
