They set up game cameras. Every time a man with a rifle walks past they add one to there list. If it looks like there are too many rifle - men they drop 1080 on the area to ruin the pricks fun.

They (doc) were doing rifleman surveys up cone ridge near the old xix track i believe? this is a few years ago and i think their base was near cone hut. But of course they have to waste plenty of money on the survey and wonder why theres bugger all about after they 1080 the joint
