Yeah, I'd say don't bother. He'll just tear it up and get in anyway.

I have my Moultrie set up to take videos and stills alternately. As a consequence most of my best pics are videos--this month I've captured 3 does with 4 fawns. This is the best still:

Also I have a pair of grey foxes that show up almost every night.

Cackling Hen mine is a Moultrie that is no longer sold but a similar one can be found at Cabela's for $140. It is 6.0 Outfitter IR Scouting Camera. The biggest difference between it and my model is that mine requires 6 D batteries the newer one only 6 C's. Otherwise it is the same. Cabela's has a number of game cams from around $80 to $450. Make sure you get one that allows you to use a SD card--it makes it easier--instead of removing the camera from its mount, all you have to do it take the card. I use a 2 GB card in mine that I "rescue" whenever I have time, download the pictures to my computer, erase the card and return it to the camera. BTW, my camera is on a game trail that goes across the dike of my pond and I mounted the camera last September and left it in operation all winter. Never did use up more than 50% of the battery power before I changed them out at the end of May.

Here are a couple of game cam videos I posted to YouTube:

Here you go ~ I knew he would come back for his cat food and marshmallows!

He did gymnastics all night long trying to get out.

Actually he is coming down that tree you see in the photo. The netting is fastened around the tree and there is enough slack (gap) that he can squeeze through. The purpose of the netting is really to keep hawks out and the chickens in. I know it will not keep racoons out. I am very careful to make sure my chickens are all locked up at dusk.

I am trying to figure out a way to better secure the netting around the tree, however I am sure that he would have no problems tearing though it if he wants in. The netting is a very heavy duty aviary netting, but is no match for a determined coon!

I was having trouble with squirrels doing that, I cut a piece of hardware cloth and after cutting a 'track' around the top edge I threaded a heavy duty bungey cord though it and wrapped it around the tree, the nailed the bungy (how DO you spell that anyway?) to the tree. the top of my run is hardware cloth/ chicken wire with a tarp over it. I had a hawk come through the netting. The bottom edge I wove a wire around that and the top. sort of like a Christmas tree skirt. Good luck, but I don't think netting will keep more than a blue jay out if it really wants in.

Thanks for the info on the way you secured your top. We have discussed replacing the aviary netting with wire fencing at some point, but it will be a job as the run is a good size and we will have to construct more framework.

The aviary netting I have is heavy duty, nothing like the deer or bird netting you get at you local big box store.

Heavy Weight Toprite Netting -1"mesh x 25' wide
Approx. breaking strength per mesh: 75 lbs.
Burst strength per mesh: 225 lbs.​
