I have a small number of plants growing inside the right of way of a county road. Ive used it for years and i often plant close to civilization because i know the choppers head for the boonies and spend little time looking beside the roadway.

Yesterday, i found a pile of shit and 3 paper towels near my plants. TERROR!! The last thing I want to do is grow plants all season for someone else to harvest.

As soon as the plants start to flower, i have considered puting a number of 4lb test monofiliment down low across the path in a number of places so that if anyone goes down the path they will detach the monofilament, but im looking for ideas

Other that BC's Game camera's, ( i cant use one here), does anyone have any other ideas on how I can know if someone other than me has been to visit my plants?

the fishing line sounds like a great idea, if you cant use a game camera i can't think of much else but waiting there which is out of the question

I hear you gs. Im hoping somebody comes up with some thing. There is some postive evidence. Generally, bushwackers dont carry a roll of paper towels. Im figuring it was somebody driving down the road, had to shit and fortunately had a role of paper towels in the vehicle. The question is did they decide to look around for a while after they finished their business.

you may have gotten lucky and it had been at night, is it near a river by chance? could have been a fisherman taking a shit, it could have been anyone really, but if you got lucky it would have been at night.......curiosity, why is a hunting camera out of question?

Silver, trick I use to get foxes which are a creature of habit, they use the same track same time each night. Bit of fishing line tie one end to a dead chicken, other end to a cheap plastic alarm clock, wrap it around the batteries, when foxy takes chicken it will tell you the exact time, by pulling the batteries out.
Same idea could be made to work by staking clock & end 4 inches above ground. Brambles are good laid across path. Piles of sand spread out on ground will give you footprint. Raked soil will too. 3 sticks, 2 of them with a fork, pushed into ground, with the 3rd layed across like a high jump.
Specialist subject marks out of 10 please. Really depends on what they are walking through to get there.

At my big patches I leave ~3-$400 in cash,,,,usually hunderds under a brand new leatherman knife..I leave it under a tree where I stash all my supplies(usually a center point in the garden....I figure, the loss of a coupple hundered is waaay better that the loss of a coupple hunderd plants yielding ~half LB, ya know.....

Not many people would walk off on $400 just staring them in the face..

Ive contemplated the fishing line, but how will you know it was a human that tripped it....

.............................. ..............

Sorry to hear about the security breach bro.....As you may know, Im in the same boat..

sand/silt on the ground around your plants and then they would leave prints in it

edit: oops didnt see it was mentioned already

yo fast pine arent you worried that if leo finds your patch they can get prints of your supplies and $?i know if i was a cop that i would do a print off the nutes to find the gurriela grower.plus you leave a knife which is a no no also printable,along with $.maybe i think things over too much but i would be careful
