electronic yowie alert

[steven]

has anyone got any new ideas for detecting yowies or yowie activity, that involve the use of electronics or anything else, ive been exsperimenting with the idea of useing long range lasers as a means of detecting yowies and have some great seccess now the idea is to set up these cheap lasers at the perimetr of a camp covering a big erea and if the yowie trips the laser it will set off a circuit that can trigger a long range transmitter or camera or alarm or maybe a data recorder of some kind so far with the minium space i have here to test it ive got a response of 20 feet minium with the laser aligned with the simple receaver circuit ive put together , although i dont know if yowies can see laser light let alone infrared, as for recording yowies thats easy even underwater recording to in the case of yowies takeing a swim , and i have other tests and exsperiments to do in order to biuld some things that would be of use in the yowie feild to, so if anyone has some ideas that could be used if simple electronic circuits are used, i would like to here it , and hopefully we can try come up with something usefull for yowie detection and monitoring

What if we use a yowie like form rigged with sound and vision so you could play the what we believe to be the yowie call that is recorded on this site and a small camera with a wireless relay seeing that they are supposed to be territorial you would think that they would get peaved at a possible rival moving into the neighbourhood. They use this method on other territorial creatures to capture footage of there natural behaviour for docco's on t.v. so maybe this could work but getting the general smell as reported by people may be a challenge. Anyway even if know footage was gained you would think that if a yowie is out there the damage done to the decoy would be worth study especially if pressure sensors were used. Best idea i can come up with at 5 am.

What do you reckon about thermal images from the air of an area, good or bad?
