As I posted earlier I've had two different cameras that the bear have seemed to enjoy. Neither camera was near bait (as I didn't bait for bear until this year) I don't know why the bear will use a camera for a toy sometimes but not others. To be on the safe side, buy a bear safe box (or build your own). It takes a lot of worry out of wondering if your camera will be there or not. I built my boxes so that they padlock onto the tree pretty easily and it would take someone a long time to steal it yet are easy for me to check (if I remember to bring the key for my padlock).
