I had a camera last year on a short stump in a clearcut that came up missing. I blamed it on someone stealing my camera. We found it several weeks later about 30 yards from the stump and It had been chewed up by a coyote. The camera still worked so I put it back out and the same thing happened again. Luckily I found my camera both times and it still works other than cosmetic damage and the strap being chewed up.
