Game Camera tips

[M-5]

I can not take credit for these tips because I found them on the interweb, and they are too simple not to share them .

first one I made is out of a bike hook.

bend the end straight and use a 1/4-20 die and thread it

add a jam nut and screw into tree and screw on the camera.

the hooks cost a buck a piece at dollar sto

second one is eye bolt 1/4-20thread 3" long and a eye lag 3" long 3 flat washers , a 9/16th bolt and nut


the eye bolts were a buck a piece at Tractor supply. I had the bolt in the bin so I figure it cost 3 bucks to make this one.

Good tips Dash.....I just drive a T-post in the ground and run a zip tie thru the camera where the stray should be and zip it to the post.

Around here, you better use a cable lock. Even then you will still get some stolen.

That's a good tip thanks. My brother put out 4 cameras Sunday on our feeders and had 900 pictures as of this morning. Not the first picture of a big buck, but he has pictures of about 35 different bucks. And quite a few are nice ones. Seen a picture of a 6pt that I'm going after, should be in the 120's. We have a lot of them genes in our deer.

I usually get more pics of coons, squirrels and my dang cats than anything. :lol2:

Thanks good tips. I use trail cameras to check cattle and for security. I've got several that don't work hung out in plain sight.
The good ones are hidden.

yes same thread pattern on digital cameras and video cameras , straps work but you are constantly tying knots if you move to different trees plus you don't have to shove a pine cone behind it to get it angled down
