I've been lucky with my trail cams over the 4-5 years I've used them. None stolen yet, and I hang it on public land. The trick is simply to put it in an obscure area where you know the deer will be, but other hunters won't be!
This is the bottom line. ANY TIME you leave somethingin the woods (I don't care what it is), you are running the risk of having it stolen. Locked orotherwise. It's the sad truth.[&o][:@][:'(][:'(][>:][>:][>:]
