If someone is going to hike in, find my camera, hike back out, drive the 1-2 hours back home, get their saw or bolt cutters, drive/hike all the way back just to cut down a tree for a $150....go for it. I usually use the lags/box/lock to stop the odd asshat that wants to steal/screw with the camera, but more so for the elk and bears that can be a PITA on the camera.
High Country, some great video!! What model of Bushnell are you running as I am looking to start phasing out my old (2012) Spypoints and Bushnells as they are slowly dying. I don't need a lot of fancy stuff, just good HD video and day and night pictures.

Those videos are from the Essential E3. Have a bunch of them as well as a few Bushnell Trophy Cam's. The price point/quality of the E3 is tough to say no to.
Things I look for in a camera:
Trigger speed
Detection range
Video quality - Don't get hung up on megapixel ratings. Companies inflate megapixels through interpolation (digitally adding mp's without improving the picture).
Based on those things, I only run Bushnell's and Brownings - quality and reliable. I do have one Reconyx (unbelievable camera) but at their price point, it's not economical to run 20+ in the field.
