A client of mine had a trespass problem. The trail cam locked in a bear proof box, 3/8" Python cabled to a tree lasted less than 2 weeks before it disappeared.
A 1 ac pond that was stocked with forage fish, RES and YP and was at the cusp of getting SMB stocked was bucket stocked with LMB. The pond was partially drained and rotenoned and it cost him 3 years (between stocking the forage, and getting the pond to the point to stock the SMB).
This pond is 1/2 mile off of the road, and it's not visible to anybody. Closest house is roughly 1/2 mile away.
FWIW, the LMB were 12"-13". Fish like that just don't magically appear one day. No water could enter the pond runoff wise (groundwater pond), and fish can't swim through dry woods.
Ouch. While it is an added financial cost - 2 options: - wireless trail cam so footage is uploaded in near real time and/or - secondary cams that point at the original more obvious cams
