I have the worst luck with trail cams. Years past I've had 2 Camtrakkers destroyed by bears. Eventually I got out of the trail cam business because of replacing cams, batteries, film, and film developing. This year for Christmas my kids bought me a digital Moultrie I40. I set the camera out and at the very first location here's what I got.
The bear busted the mounting strap tabs off the back but all else was ok. I beefed up the mounting tabs by bolting on an aluminum bracket for future use.
Oh, I had a scent dripper in front of the camera with coyote urine.
Enjoy. Thanks, bootmud

Luring em right to the lens. I'd like to see them jump when the flash goes off.
