Okay Ive just finished listening to the tape recorder that I left out at that place that I've been watching for the last month or so , NOTHING ! Just normal bush stuff ! . . . . . . . . . . . . . BUT ! ! ! I left a baited cat/dog trap out there with it , and the the trap had been tripped and the bait was gone ! There was nothing inside the trap , and it looked just as I left it ! Nothing came up on the tape deck ! Strange ! It's a metal cage and it rattles alot when it's tripped , but still nothing was heard on the tape deck ! It was baited with road kill which was a couple of days old !

Just one more thing to add to that , I've reloaded the trap with more road kill , but this time I didn't set the door on it , I've left it closed ! We'll see if the baits gone in a day or so !

Hi Darren
Sounds strange that the tape didn,t pick the trap door being sprung.
Was it working correctly...

All u can do is try and keep trying different things to see what works best in that enviroment....

Good to see ya knees r working again..
Just need to mount a gear stick on the handle bars and PRESTO. No knees needed......LoL. :lol:

Ormeau called off Yet again as The weather keeps turning foul... :(
Five of us going to sit and listen for a couple of daylight hours .Then do a brief sweep thru the area into the night .

And If all Goes well, off to Kilcoy for a over nighter But will PM u and let u know when.... 8)

Cheers...................

No mate , nothing at all ! The last time I was out there , the trap was , as I'd left it , and there was nothing on the v/a tape deck but the usual ! I've been to busy so I haven't been out there to reset the bait !
