lodge an angle/wedge cut 2x4 between it and the tree, or a big stick.
I have set them up high before. I get less "freak outs" from the red glow when I mount them higher.

I think if somebody wanted to steal it bad enough it wouldn't matter how high you mounted it. People will cut a tree down if they want it bad enough.
I do know some guys that absolutely swear by mounting them 6 to 8 feet high. They claim they it helps get older bucks on camera. I tried it on 2 cameras a couple years ago, and I did get one massive deer in daylight, but I got a big deer on one of my normal height camera too, so I don't know if it really makes a difference. If they want it bad enough, they'll get'm. These are 36" - 2 man operated bolt / lock cutters. Not much gets by these out there! Crackheads will do anything to get a $5.00 rock.

I know ya'll are talking cameras and I too plan to mount some high to HOPEFULLY prevent them from being seen and stole. But I think I found a way to beat the cutters. I had some cut a lock and was going through my property to another property on the back side of mine. That property HAS ROAD FRONTAGE AND A ROAD SYSTEM already there. No need to go through mine except it's a short cut. So, yesterday I took my dozer out their to where the road crosses over to their property Do you know how deep of a hole a crazy, PO'ed, SOB with plenty of time can dig with a dozer? Pushed all the dirt mounded up on the side of the hole. Pushed down 2 large trees on the outside of the hole and dirt mound. I will go back and drive in T-post every 3' across the road. They my cut my lock again but they will have to drive across T-post, hole, dirt mound, and trees to get where they are going....down a road lined with cameras high up in the trees.

I don't see most trail camera fellas jumping to grab a limb and climb a tree as depicted in those images. Great idea and out of the way for sure. The identification of the animals is difficult from that elevation but, you do see what has passed by it the narrow sensing width of the sensor. Posting about 10 cameras on the 800 acres I had and having to climb trees with spare batteries or equipment could be very tricky especially during the hot humid summers or cold winter wearing heavy clothing. I'd be exhausted no doubt. Here's a pic of how jokers stole some cameras 12' off the ground with no ladder and the camera not secured to the tree. Always have another camera hidden watching the high dollar one. That doesn't always work either. Thieves suck any way you cut it.

I had this camera about 30' up in a white oak.
