BirdDog20 Report post Posted November 2, 2011 Having hunted 36A or 36B for several years and even having our truck broke into by illegals, I decided to go ahead and ring the perimeter of our camp with some camp alarms. My dad, being the tinkerer he is had created some alarms he uses for fishing. We had two of those and ran the rest with aluminum cans. We sleep in the back of the truck, but we went ahead and set up the tent as a diversion. Since most all the camps were down in the flats, it was nice to have a little piece of mind to know that we'd be alerted if someone were approaching our camp while we were sleeping. (Let's see if the youtube links / embedded vids work). http://youtu.be/3Te0OJ1D2zw <iframe width="480" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3Te0OJ1D2zw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Camping in Southern AZ - Unit 36B where illegals are rampant and somewhat brazen, we set up the perimeter of our camp with fishing line and alarms. http://youtu.be/Dtfb_7zWGyo <iframe width="480" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Dtfb_7zWGyo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> My dad was a bit of an over-actor in his demo.

BirdDog20 Report post Posted November 2, 2011 He used a magnetic switch which triggered an audible alarm and built a slide mechanism with a coat hanger to slide that switch when the arm is raised (by the fishing line). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elkaddict Report post Posted November 2, 2011 Great idea for hunting down south, the electronic one might have even helped the elk hunters that had some of their meat stolen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
