Meadowlark - you have a good point and come to think of it – after our neighbor was photographed, we have seen a lot less activity on my Dad’s place. Perhaps NOT hiding the camera produces better results.
Here is a good web site for hunting topics, lots of focus on game cameras. I have seen cameras use varoius strapping devices, hardend cases..etc on this website. Click on "Forums".
