AZLance Report post Posted September 1, 2008 Go to Ebay, and type in Motion Detector Alarm. There are several battery opperated devices that will give your camp some added security... I usally set up two of them to form a perimeter when going to sleep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azpackhorse Report post Posted September 2, 2008 Here are 2 of 4 bails that were found by my trailcam this weekend, I had to wait until almost dark for BP to clear the area and get the dog out. I was advised to make it quick because the other 11 they did not catch would more than likely be coming back to get bundles that were stashed. The danger is REAL down there and don't let anyone tell you different. Keep and eye out and stay alert. I will NEVER let someone dictate by fear what I can do in MY COUNTRY!

azpackhorse Report post Posted September 2, 2008 Thanks for taking the time to call that in Brian!! I for one appreciate people who assist law enforcement. Amanda I did not call it in, they were there when I got there to check my cam but I will not hesitate to help those guys out and have done so in the past. I offered weapons back up, BP commented on how I was better armed than they were Those BP agents were working their tales off, I took some good photos with my camera but swapped the card in my camera out with the trailcam card. I will get those photos when I check the cam this weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CouesKilla Report post Posted September 3, 2008 Has anyone ever heard of any problems in 29? I'm going to be hunting there in Nov, its going to be my first time down there. I've hunted 29 on and off for the past 15 years and have not seen one illegal. I did have a scary encounter in 30A (due south of 29) once. I would carry a sidearm just to be safe just about anywhere south of I-10. Thanks, I've been wondering. I know that you never know what to expect. What happened in 30A? Just crusin down a dirt road (Big Boss Ranch Road) and see what appears to be another hunter standing outside his truck. Rifle, camo, the works. When we get to within 100 yards he lifts his rifle up at the same time about 12 illegals pop up out of a ditch and pile into his truck. We had a stand off (kind of just staring at eachother) for a minute or so and he then finally jumped in the truck and took off. Scary, to say the least, when you find them armed. One illegal got left behind. We passed by and spotted him in the ditch on our way out. I'm sure he froze his butt off that night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She is telling me I need to try harder to get one during Archery Season... just keep that gun handy. they usually dont bother you unless theyre packin dope. if you hit some dope runners and they do anything, shoot them son of a bucks and ask questions later. them are the ones to watch for. as for your camp. ya they will get into it. i had them in mine two years ago. just hid anything valuable in a truck or somewhere safe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azpackhorse Report post Posted September 5, 2008 You got one of those trailcams that can see the future! Another interesting fact is that while talking with some BP agents they said that the smugglers have way more technology than the BP due to the unlimited funds available to them, that's pretty sad. I built this for the sole purpose of defending myself need be while scouting/checking cams down south, I pray I never have to use it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
