I haven't lost one yet. I would agree with 300ultramag...stay away from the obvious spots like water holes that you can drive a quad to. If you put a camera on a spot that a scumbag can drive to, it's just a matter of when it's going to be taken. I'm not saying stay away from these spots, but you better be willing to loose the camera. I like game trails on ridge tops or saddles between canyons that are at least 1/4 mile away from roads.
