Treestand, trail cam and ground blind security?
hey, For bear hunting I've been hunting with the "cheaper" ladder stands and ground blinds so i didnt really worry about them getting stolen. I bought i really ladderstand this year and a ground blind and think of using a trail cam when i set my baits. What do you think the best way to secure them for the 3 weeks or so they will be sitting on public land? Cable lock, ground stake, chain to the tree? thanx!

RE: Treestand, trail cam and ground blind security?
In my area protecting from thieves is not a big problem but rather protecting from bears. I had a bear 2 years ago rip my camera off of a tree and shear the tree screw right off in the camera. He never ate the camera up and it still works but i learnt my lesson. Put the camera in a metal box of some type like a fuse panel box or something so they can't get at it. Sure they might rip it off but at least they can't really damage it too severly. I seen on the cuddeback website they sell these boxes but i am sure you could fix something up pretty quick if you can get your hands on a welder.
