What about positioning these high in the tree to avoid theft?

Can they be mounted, say, 15 ft off the ground and angled down?

I bought one at Gander Mountain in Indy for 35$ and It paid for itself in less than 2 months. The only problem there is with them is if they take in a glare they will go off. So dont set it facing E or W where it will have the sun glaring off the sensor. Also if your putting it in a darker area like a thicket, use 800 speed film. It gives it 10 times better quality. Also dont put it to close to the trail because the motion detector isnt as good as a dig. I like to put min 2-4 yards from the trail and I'll throw a dozen apples in the area to slow them down.

So would 800 speed film be a better choice than say, 400?

Depends on the situation. The higher the speed the higher brighter the contrast resolution. In some cases you need it in some you dont. 800 speed costs more than 400 but Ive got great pics from 400 speed. Its not a case of shutter speed quickness, its just going to brighten your image.

If you put the cam 15ft in a tree. Then whoever wants to steal it will just go home and get a ladder.

I usually use 400, but 800 does a lot better job in my cam with night pics.

Well if some dude wants to drive home and lug a ladder thru the woods to my treestand then I guess he DESERVES it!
