Top marks mate - I went up to my goat spot this arvo just to have a look, Farmer said there might be some pigs around. Holy shit was there what!!!!! Hoping I can borrow a game camera, the whole bowl where I get the most of my goats is completely rooted!!!!! I think I'll buy some blood and bone tomorrow.
Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigs yay!
Go get em Dougie:)Quote:

I just got a txt camera, now that's Johnny on the spot, ill post a pic if they show up
Nice pics of rooting , your dog should let you know in some way or another where there at
I'd love to build a trap but I might as well go spend that money on bacon from the supermarket....will probably have to cut another track on the other side to get a good vantage point, keep chucking my goat offal in the same place at the bottom of the bowl.
Pretty excited eh, I'm getting sick of shooting dog food..
Yeah he's actually getting on really well these days! Settled down heaps, doesn't chase if I cue him to stay close.. Not sure he could resist a wee baby piglet.Quote:

I asked him to leave it and we carried on up. Very cool stuff.
Lambing time is not far away usually no shortage of dead ewes or cows they make excellent bait stations.....one day me and a mate had around a dozen green bloated 1,s on a trailer got a few k,s down the road and yep the wheel came off half the sheep enedd up on the road :x_x:
Have they eaten the goats offal , I would chuck some whole maize around like biff handfuls all over in the area you want to sniper , make them work a little for it
If the dog stays in like that you have it sussed, just ask him to show you or what ever you ask him, that'd be the ultimate if he indicated a pig for you
Suss the breeze as you enter and let him work it, then if nothing still using the breeze see if he tracks off on a scent
iv got the same "problem" forestry out the back is where they live but they trek across to mess the orchard up
gave one the medicine friday night but there is plenty more, probably another 10 or so worth shooting
still trying to avoid shooting the sows and they have little ones in tow
Trailcam, maize in milk, good and rotten and some blood & bone spread around works a treat. Traps unless you prefer the whole hunting thing. Good luck Bill999.
How much did you pay for the txt camera?

Vodaphone only , need 3 bars of reception, sends a pic to my phone within 1 min of being taken

Attachment 26942
Time was set wrong, but those are from my phone
Do you have to pay when it sends the pics and is that a chicken?
Yea had to buy a sim card and load 20 bucks on it, supposed to be 20c a pxt but not sure so have to be careful so I set it at send 20 pics per day
That's a hawk
Edit. it has to be set on 5 m pixel too not 12 or it wont send
Ahh righto, now I know its a hawk it still looks like a chicken :wtfsmilie:
on another pic it took it does look like a chicken I had to look many times , cat , possum, myna birds too, im just playing with it to learn it, its going up to the forest for those late night poachers
That's a cool setup. Good value too. Except if u end up paying for lots of texted hawk and cow photos I end up getting. Long as you set it up in a sensible spot aye.

It is not as touchy as some cameras but yea that was my first thought, get it wrong and you will chew up all your credit fast, im setting it up so I can top it up online, while it is sitting in place, it also has a timer function so you can choose when its going to send picsQuote:

I don't like the remote, too easy to loose is my thinking, but yea going to have some fun with this
Might be a dumb question. Can you change the settings from home? If its sending you shit pics?Quote:

Mate I have just got one of these cameras but I'm really struggling to get to the send mms stage to my email got a sim phone card and $20 ticket all loaded on. It says it's got service n says sim but can't get any further than that any tips? Instructions say got click on instant but can't find this. Any ideas?
Thanks
My cousin gets old bread from a bakery, apples or fish guts. They all work a treat, and they're free. Dead stinky goats are good too
Are you useing a Vodafone sim card as Telecom cards dont work.
This. Skip to 5:20 to see the action.

Further advice here
Did you get a disk with the camera? mine came with one, you need to load the file from the disk onto computer then load that file onto the SD card with your phone details etcQuote:

Diet as you can see is goat, dead sheep etc it brings them in from a long way off.
Good work. We've done the same thing for years. At their worst the buggers were rooting over 10-15 acres a night.
They like it in there so much they are all having a nap [emoji106] [emoji1]Quote:
