Title: Done. First homebrew
Post by: Craig on February 10, 2009, 01:14:04 PM: Well I finished my first homebrew ( w-80 ). It took awhile and a little help from a couple very nice people from this site it is done. I think I kind of know what I'm doing so the next one should be a little easier. My paint job did not turn out how I wanted so I mixed all the colors together. It looks like a big cow paddy but it works. I used the kids as test animals and had them walk back and forth in front of it and it worked so it's time to put it in the field next week.

Thanks to everyone that helped or answered some if my dumb questions.

Moved it to a different tree and it stood out like a sore thumb. Besides, if you use a flash, you can't hide the camera. Many times it will flash during daylight too. Can't wait to see pics of the animals.
