    Does anyone have problems with squirrels eating there trail cams if so what have you done to stop it. I have had 5 eaten through this year. I have looked at the security case but they still leave a lot open for the squirrels to get at.

    No problem make sure that the screw ports on the bottom/back of your cam are compatible! They should be though!

    I smear hot pepper juice on camera when placing cam in any area that has a lot of squirrels. I just carry one of those small bottles with me when checking cam and it seems to work.

    I'm not too sure of this in regards to how it would affect the deer. But I have never heard of camera hungry squirrels haha
