I'm glad I talked him into it

I'm so pleased for my dad. After I emailed him some recent deer trail camera pics, and telling him how I enjoy checking my cameras, seeing when the deer are moving, etc., he went out and bought a trail cam for himself. He's from the "old-school" when it comes to deer hunting and doesn't try new things too often, so this is a bit of a change for him. I told him it's kinda like hunting even when you're not hunting. You have an eye in the woods all the time. He was a bit reluctant at first, thinking someone would steal it from him. I told him yes, that's possible, but it's probably a small chance that will happen, and so he bought a Moultrie 4.0 with the two memory cards (and I believe the batteries too) for $80.00 at Bass Pro Shops in Denham Springs. I think it was a Black Friday special. He painted the outer case in camo colors so there's less chance it'll be stolen, but if it is, it won't break the bank. I'm excited for him. I told him be careful, once you start you can't stop! He says there's lots of tracks so he should get plenty pictures. Can't wait to see 'em. Do y'all have any other anti-theft suggestions? I know nothing will stop a determined thief, just thought I'd pass on your tips to my dad to make his camera less of a juicy target. Thanks guys. Muddy tires and bloody tailgates to you all!
