Boiling Dingo Trap

[@jasonclark950]

Great video! Do you also have problems out your way with feral pigs? I know on some properties they set up wire cage type traps, made from concrete square mesh with a funnel entrance baited with grain. Cheers

yeah we do have feral pigs but not in enough numbers to cause a lot of problems

Good video bloke 👍👍👍👍👍 I used to do my traps after catching a fox or if I touched them without gloves made me feel better hahaha I used to put wattle leaves and branches in as well when boiling them

Has research been done to verify this is necessary, or even effective? (a twitchy dog can detect a clean trap easily enough). Some practices are urban myths or misinterpretations. Some dog trappers try to exploit the attraction of a prior catch, and get results. Be aware much research is "case study" stuff, and animals' individual (& population) behaviour can differ. Research doesn't make rules in some cases, which scientists, managers and operators can overlook. Like experience, it can be misguided & also revealing. Done right, it shouldn't be based on subjective data, and opinions restricted to discussion points (conclusions are data-based). For initial cleaning, soaking, then pressure washing (in a wire freezer basket etc on a sheet of iron) works easier than scrubbing. If doing a lot, a tool to handle them while standing up saves the back (a long handled ice axe worked ok), Boiling rubber might deteriorate it?

Getting rid of wild dogs is saving the native wildlife, excellent ! Thank you.
