The problem with that approach is they know where you are and you dont know where they are, what if they got pissy and came back and shot ALL your sheep and burnt your house down while your family slept?
The problem with revenge is it never stops till everyone is dead.

I like the idea of the 1080 sign. Deadly to dogs and I sure as hell wouldn't go looking for an animal knowing that it "may" have been subjected to 1080 recently. For added effect you could go to the local garden center and find some sort of green pellet garden fertiziler to throw around near the sign?

Or have a sign on your boundry fence "If your reading this sign you are about to enter private property and I already have your picture from a hidden game camera. If I catch you on film from one of the cameras inside the property I will involve the authorities. Kind regards Mr Farmer (followed by your phone number)"
Weather you use cameras or not is your choice....

Rusty set of handcuffs on the top wire with a sheep shank with a few decomposing tendons ....

Bro that sux so bad.

I would put up a few signs along the track and one on the fence line. Put a camera on the road to catch rego numbers, U might find its only a couple of people doing it a lot.

Are the spot lighting or allways during the day?

Hang some fish hooks at eye level just on your side of the fence.. they will only cross the fence once!!!

This plus talk to your local copper about having a few shots go over your house from these guys . Will get his attention more .

The electric fence idea has some merit. Most are grunty enough to run between 300 to 1000 kms of fencing . If you borrowed one for just that bounrdry it would probably cause invoulantary bowel movements. It is a shit problem an the reality is even with getting th cops in it normally will end in a trespassing notice.

gotta laugh at all these crazy ideas... "smash them, burn their trucks! etc rape and pillage!" whoa coool thatll work! now theyre gonna shoot all your sheep, poison your dog and attempt to burn your house down in revenge, if you even have the right person.
pretty sure most if not all sucessful deer hunters at some point have climbed over a fence they werent meant to at some point in their career, and 100% of pig hunters have. or spotlighted doc land etc. all these high and mighty internet hunters needa chiiiill. its all part of the game. peace

Buy and old car and set fire to it where they park.. leave the burnt out wreck there and a sign beside it saying 'Trespassers ex-vehicle'.. and put a 'NO Trespassing' sign up

Dial 111 and report an armed offender is on your property. Then the cops have to respond.
It gives the poachers a huge fright when the armed offenders squad turn up all dressed up and pointing firearms at them.

Wild animal control act 1977

It is an offence to hunt,kill or have in ones possession any wild animal on any land,or to discharge a firearm into or over or across any land without the express authority of the owner/occupier of that land.

Time we see some spine and a few people go for a skate i reckon, we do have tough tresspass laws but dont seem to see many convictions over it

Any lawyers on here that can fuel the fire and add to this thread to help burn the pochers....

Theres a poacher who use to come down to Birch north and use the cockys land to enter into birch,the caretaker caught him on the trail cams and has had him approched buy the police and hasnt had a prob since! So you can act like a fucktard and burn his wagon or hang some dead sheep on a fence or you use your brain which im sure you will do.

Easy too get the plates up there but prooven whos the the poacher that belongs too the vehicle will be tuff.How did Dug get on when he owned the property?

He is a good man and we always let him know where our vehicle was,most of the time when we went up there we left it at the woolshed or house

Thanks for all the advice guys and girls.
Dundee Doug still owns the farm, I think part of the problem is no one lives there now and they no that after hours they are going to get away with it...
But Trail Cams are a great thing........ So are bullets
