How high

[backroads]

OK, I just cashed in some of my Marriott points and got a couple Cabelas gift cards and purchased a MOULTRIE GAME SPY M-100 6.0 MP CAM.

This is my first camera. I am sure when it arrives in a week or so the instructions will say how high to place it on a tree, but I am curious now. How high do you place yours? I assume there is a distinct advantage to placing it higher to keep it out of reach of trespassers with sticky fingers.

I also picked up a MOULTRIE 30 GAL. BREAKDOWN HOPPER so I can entice the squirrels, raccoons, and whatever else may be up there.

This year will be my first year hunting my property.

Thanks

Really depends on the setup. I've actually seen a guys pics from where he laid the camera on the ground.

I have several cameras on public land in multiple States. I mount them about 10- 12 ft high and aim them down at the target area using a device similar to this:

HME Strap-On Trail Cam Holder

I have had zero stolen and it also minimizes the spooking of deer if you have red IR flash cameras.

If I only had a couple of cameras, those cameras were IR instead of black-flash, and I was setting them up to monitor a feeder, I would mount them high and point them down.

Glad to hear mounting it up high isn't a problem. I really don't think this land gets a lot of traffic right now. It's mainly hills and ravines with some oaks. I've had a TR out for the past couple of months. I've noticed the TR has been moved around but I've seen one set of tracks coming in to it. I randomly put out some No Plow near the TR but I can't tell it is being hit.

I guess I'll see! Thanks
