Game Cameras Locked or Unlocked?

I had a camera up in the Lagunas and it was not secured. My thought was I really doubted that anyone was going to walk right by my camera. It was tucked away on a little trail in an area that I don't think many people go in. I left it for a little more than a month and it was still there when I went to get it. No people pics either. I was thinking of putting it some where else that is more used but I got scared it would disappear so I didn't put it up. I don't know how to lock it to the tree and I think the little lock just keeping it closed is pointless.
Gteam never locks up their cams. we usually put them where nobody will go.
We have came across cameras while we were hiking up to our spots but we just leave them alone

Boogie,
Depending on the camera's you can make your own security boxes. I have used ammo cans, around 14 dollars at a surplus store and I have had friends make them out of electrical panel boxes.

Always locked and never had a problem until now. The broke the lock box and took it all. Just came back tonight with one less camera
I've found a lot. Never took one. I just show my ass and walk by a few times. Or a lot depends how bored I am. Speaking of this has anyone got pictures of my butt. I've been doing it for over a couple of years.
Haha but I'm not joking

LOL I got a butt picture from my brother before.
I have a few people pictures but none that they knew the camera was there. It's best to really hide it with sticks around it. If you just strap it to a tree trunk next to a trail with the big black strap that comes with it you can kiss it goodbye.
People stealing cameras and stands is one of the reasons I havent bought them yet. I dont feeling like spending my hard earned money only to have some degenerate scumbag steal my stuff. I have seen alot of stands and cameras up in Laguna and some are locked up very well and others are just ready for someone to steal.
You will have to carry an 8' ladder and a hacksaw for the lock or a chainsaw to cut the tree down to steal my cams. I lost one a few years ago and from then on I have gone pretty extreme not to lose another. Plus I try to only hunt where no one else will go unless they get lost.
