+zygote2k Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Can I hide a cache under a pile of buck poop? I figure this to be great natural camo, plus no one would even think to look under a pile of poop. Quote Link to comment

+Team Tigger International Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Real poo'd decompose, so I'd suggest fake poo. Others have had luck using it. Wulf Quote Link to comment

jdoe Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 (edited) I would suggest you find something else for your cammo. Although most geo-muggles would avoid feces on the trail, eventually you cache will be discovered by someone cleaning the area or even worse, someone deciding to BURYING it.

+MrCOgeo Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 where do you get fake deer poop? Look around (under) a foam deer target or Spray paint bearings or other spheres with matte spray paint, add dirt and mount on a pile of silicone caulk, epoxy or some other adhesive. Kind of homemade fake vomit. Quote Link to comment
+zygote2k Posted December 23, 2004 Author Share Posted December 23, 2004 I think that is more trouble than using the real stuff. If you place it under a big enough pile, it won't decompose too quickly. Besides, when did you ever bury poop in the woods that wasn't yours? Quote Link to comment

+Navdog Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Speaking of scatology... somewhere there must be a micro hidden in the middle of a cow pasture with a hint that reads... "Bring your own spatula". Quote Link to comment
+sbukosky Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 One of the most challenging and fun caches in our area was call Scarabedai Delta Gibbosum's Delight. I'm sure I butchered the spelling. Translated it refers to the African dung beetle, which was a hint of was to look for. The cache was a film canister fastend under a piece of shingle that was covered in deer "scat" and some other likely ground clutter. I've taken bewildered DNF'ers to it and pointed to it and they still could not see it. Quote Link to comment
+BadAndy Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I won't say how I know this.....but if you spray the (dry) dung with ceramic glaze....it won't decompose for a very very long time. Quote Link to comment
+JohnnyVegas Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 You can get fake crap in a Magic/Joke shop, I works, I've used it. Quote Link to comment
+Team Perks Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I've used a couple different types of fake poop for a cache. Hide it where there are lots of plants and shadows, and it can be surprisingly hard to spot. Quote Link to comment
kayaker22589 Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 You could use some kind of laquer on the poo to keep it from decomposing. A friend of mine did this to some cow patties and handed them out as gifts to his teachers on the last day of school. Quote Link to comment
+Criminal Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 (edited) It’s no great challenge to hide a cache such that it would prove impossible for someone to ever locate it. The challenge is to make it “disappear” in plain sight. Invisible to anyone who is not looking for it, but clever enough to make the hunt enjoyable for someone who is.

I really had a blast camoing my first cache hide. Right out in front of their face, but still some DNF's. Quote Link to comment
+R-100-GS Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Well in the desert southwest I did a cache in Arizona that had a cow pattie over it. In our climate a cow floppie doesn't decay like it would say in Washington state. I grew up around horses and cattle and it does'nt bother me to pick up a dry cow floppie, after all the dry product is pretty much the same as it was before it went through the beastie.( moist is a different matter) Besides , it just cracked me up to see the placer had a sense of humor. If you are interested the cache name is Arrowrock and waypoint is; CG629F My only other thought is to varnish or shallic the scat. Quote Link to comment
+Codswallop Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 (edited) Looking at the photo of Buck--I think ol' Buck needs a little camo himself. Or a girlfriend. Edited December 25, 2004 by codswallop Quote Link to comment
+Confucius' Cat Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 Like I usually turn over every pile of poop i find in the woods when i look for a cache! Sounds like a good cache to "pass" on! Quote Link to comment

+Honest John & Suzies Jule Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 I wouldn't mess with the cow poop down here. (Florida) Some pretty bad mushrooms growing out of them! Quote Link to comment
