    I had python locks on both and they cut right through them. And Amazon Prime is great.

    Me too. I put python locks on ALL my trail cams. The ones that were not cut, the camera was destroyed. A quote I heard a longtime ago, "LOCKS ARE MADE FOR HONEST PEOPLE!"

    Good to know I didn't realize how easy it was. Now all of mine are going 12 ft + up with a python lock. How easy are lock boxes bolted to a tree to remove? A couple minutes with a crowbar probably? A lock box up in a tree bolted angled with long lag bolts and a python lock would probably just give it's location away to be stolen later when the dbag returns with tools. Agree?

    I agree. A lock box makes it stand out even more. Very few people look up when they go into the woods. With the leaves and vegetation getting thicker, hanging them higher will make them harder to find.
