Sound isn't necessary , I just want to capture and record video of any and

Photo is cheap and possible with a motion-sensor camera from a hunting

Personally, I like the idea of semi-harmful boobytraps.

I had a similar problem with kids taking a shortcut
through my backyard and knocking over my woodpile
in the process.

I looked around the garage and found an old airhorn
and a plunger style air valve. *I rigged a fish
line tripwire the length of the fence connected to
the valve and the horn. *One blast is all it took...

Ive got a 12gauge. *One blast is all it takes.

Now Gunner's making death threats to teenagers. Very smooth.
