[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 661123, member: 4386"] Might have been found and I doubt it is too cold - I find them regularly. It is a constant hazard (to life and limb) for my crews to keep coming across crops with unfriendly owners - I put coords on GPS so my guys don't go too close, some growers are gun-happy. Also when you see a sign on a tree next to a crop that says "Took your pump, sucker" it is time to leave to prevent misidentification. Strathbogies, Narbethong, Club Terrace and north, Great Barrier Island in NZ are pretty cool (although the island is warmer). Not all that bad a climate down in the Wonnongatta Valley unlike up on the ridges. Came across a guy tapping into the cross-island phone line while with students on Great Barrier Island. Found he had no constant tracks into his crops, just GPS cords and used different routes in each time. I wondered why they invited him into camp that night for a drink, and found out next day that they got him drunk, asked to look at his GPS and wiped all coordinates. Suspect he was unhappy when he got over his hangover - students were laughing themselves sick (it is thick bush to navigate). Moved on quickly.... [/QUOTE]
