I think I lured in a new one as I shoot a small warthog & carried half dragged him 2-3 km from a water source along a two track & I think he followed the trail in, normally come in 8:30-9:30 & this guy was 12:40am !

Need another plan !

Plan A shoot in moon - great but moon gone as working then.
Plan B Shoot with light - haha never gone like lightning.
Plan C shoot with hand held laser on chest while look with thermal then other guy shoots laser with dot scope fail.
Plan D same but with night vision hand held, this might work but lost helper & Hyena see the infer red !
Plan E was here & fail again !!

I can confirm that there are no hyenas left in the Waikato, but you left plenty of moles and bushpigs. I suggest using yourself as bait then wrangle the bugger when he gets close.
