Re: Camo4u vinyl wraps for hunting truck

I have seen cars done in camo paint, but it was never meant as a hunting aid.
I do a lot of hunting from a car in very open country and rarely come home empty handed, I have no idea why you would want cammo for a car. it would just make it harder to find your car when :roll: you park it out bush!

Re: indian myna's

a friend of mine found a specialist designed trap for them on the net somewhere. He made it out of chicken wire and it worked a tweat. Of course it does not have the same rush as a good hit with an arrow but hey it worked and totally got rid of his problem. I don't have any around here for practise :(

Be interesting to see how it pans out this time around....
