I think a mate of mine went over board with these game camera set ups.

thanks mike, that was damn cool.
look forward to seeing the results.
got a feeling there might be a lot of photos of dominant male roos having a bit of a kicking challenge cos the fake wont submit and back down.
the sheep cam is a bit sus though, wouldnt like to see what trys to get into that rear camera hole, could be quite disturbing

The kangaroo-cam is nothing short of brilliant! Simulated heart beat! I'd have to think he'll need to anchor it's legs to the ground by driving thin poles into the ground and having the poles go up into the hind legs. Afterall, it's only timber construction. Otherwise, I'm afraid Shaz could be right, it'll be knocked over by a large roo and fall prey to all sorts of bush indignities.

It's a shame the head doesn't move somehow, to attract other animals through slight movement, and I'm sure he can get little simulated breathing apparatus that they use in some first aid training to smulate the kangaroo breathing. If he's using real kangaroo skin, it'll have some kangaroo odours, but would have much more if left in a kangaroo enclosure for a couple of weeks before he finally puts it in the field. There's plenty of places around that I'm sure would accomodate such a harmless playmate. Just some suggestions.

As for the sheep-butt-cam, another awesome idea, but if your friend has any suspicions at all about the not-quite-right lad next door who is always grinning, perhaps he might think twice about testing it in his own paddock first?

I decided not to make any jokes... just in case there are some kiwis among us... (angel)
