What a pack of scumbags. I'll never go there. I had an interesting experience on while camping on my own once. I was single at the time and the mates were busy so I went to a regular spot alone for the night. All was well, relaxing, around the fire with a beverage, listening to the cd player that was running off my generator, when all of a sudden the music stopped and the lights went out. Fearing someone was tampering with my geni, I followed the extension cord, pick handle in hand, down the track to where I'd put it behind a tree. Once there, wearing brown undies, I discovered I'd run out of fuel. All's well that ends well.

LOL What a relief

I never thought it would come to this but I take two camouflaged outdoor surveillance cameras on my camping trips these days and plant them in nearby trees.  And, boy, do I go to some remote, out of the way places where I am usually the only person for miles around, but it never ceases to amaze me how someone will always seem to drop in out of the blue —  just for a brew and a yarn.  Usually cattle men or vanners.

That's the go.
You can get them for around $150 now. A good one like the LTL Acorn (just watch out for the knock offs)

I bought one for tracking Game but all I seem to get is these Jokers



What's that Skip?
Trouble at the Water hole?

While I don't dis-agree that there are some that break the law & spotlight Deer in the Vic Alps.
What youvé written sounds like it has come direct from an Extreme Green's central Melbourne, office dwelling.
Nothing short of scare mongering & slander.

I take offence to the way it is written because it labels hunters in general as a bunch of unruly red necks.
When in fact many of whom would be the first to report such behaviour before the Rotten Apple Sours the Barrel.

The "High percentage" bit is a bit hard to believe!

If the real truth were known, Most of the people chasing Deer in the Vic Alps are dedicated, licenced stalkers of high moral ground who have had to jump thru all manner of hoops just to get there in the first place. Often set deep in the remote regions of the Parks & never seen or heard.
They need to be, for one, that is how you find deer but also because the media (with the help of the Greens & others) has used precisely this type of slander to brainwash the masses as a means of furthering their agenda (& that of the UN)
Make no mistake, for a person in this country to be eligible for a firearms license, they have to have a squeaky clean back ground which is under constant scrutiny or they loose the lot, on the spot & no compensation for the cost of seized equipment whether guilty or not (& of course hefty Fines & penalties if convicted) this is the card the "Anti's" play all the time, False accusation alone is enough to cause considerable heart ache.
