If you think it's weird that I'm secretive about my cameras, it's just because every once in a while someone steals one. It was locked up like Fort Knox too - lag bolted to a tree, in a metal case, with a padlock and a cable lock, plus camoflaged well. Someone went to a lot of trouble to take it. I also went to a lot of trouble buying it, setting it up, etc. But what can you do?

Suppose I'll feel sorry for myself for a while, and then get over it.

Meanwhile, this bobcat (different camera of course) was a nice catch. He apparently couldn't get the entire rabbit down - note the full belly, and less than intact rabbit.

Easter Egghunt has been cancelled due to disappearance of rabbit but new kind of hunt has been instituted Major asshole camera thief hunt with bounty. Sorry for your loss CM hopefully we can catch the person and belay/fillet them by a private part or train the kitties to take them down as (not so good tasting) game. Once again great videos :-)

Where can I buy pure urushiol oil? I could just paint the cameras with that.

Can't stop people stealing them, but I could make them regret it.

Cool video, Cougarmagic. It would be naive to not be careful about your cameras. I'm sorry one got stolen. I realized that I subscribed to your videos on YouTube awhile ago. I hope you never lose another camera out there.
