Catching Chocky's Killers

Outstanding dogs may only come your way a few times in your life. Chocky Ya Ya (also known as Chock, the old General, La La to his countless friends) was one of those dogs. Super smart, a superb hunting mate but he was getting old. On one of his sojourns away from the lodge, he crossed paths with some seriously bad wild dogs and the rest, unfortunately is history. He paid the ultimate price, so will they.

Rip Choky - As a city-slicker aussie, I'd like to say how I appreciate videos like this. Gives me an insight into the lives of those Australians living outside city-limits, dealing with part of the country life that we aren't privy too and a lot of the time don't understand. So this channel and your videos mate are fantastic - keep it all up.

[@rachel81962]

For several years I ran a deer ranch in south Texas. I ran a lot of snares. I normally killed over a 100 coyotes per year. Haven’t seen you use snares out there. Clean out an area and a new group would try to move in. But they had to come under the fence to do so. That’s where the snares work best.

[@ClarkMcGhiesWildCountry]

Our son Kurt and wife Esther trap and snare a lot of wolf and coyote in BC. Over here it is illegal, too much other small animals, marsupials, goannas, stock etc.

[@bwana375]

I'm sorry for your loss Clarkie and Judy.

[@rabbitphobia]

Sorry for your loss... I love your videos how you explain what you are doing and why it's totally fascinating especially when you mention things that can only be known from years of experience it's bloody awesome. Better than anything on TV no doubt about it.

[@davidwelch2438]

Awesome video Clark. Thanks again. A it was sad to hear about Chocky.

[@TheOzflyer]

Great video as always mate, I’ve always used paper on my traps, I’ll give it a go without paper next time, sorry to hear about Chocky as well, all the best mate 👍🇦🇺

[@archiekabooom2928]

So sorry to here about your loss ,my deepest condolences.

[@darrynworthy7129]

when my pop took me trapping back in the 70s on for foxes and he would when possible set just before a rain, in victoria its easier than n.s.w or qld, never used gloves, we would sprinkle water over the area, and yes very cunning foxes that had been caught and chewed off their leg to get out, became very hard to catch. we would elevate a bait up high, set traps back away from under a trap. also we used beer cans with spikes and not peg a trap in the ground, never lost a fox that way, just tracked it down. dogs are stronger though, every day we would check traps. or we wired a trap to a fence so it could slide. we always used cut up news paper, sand its a must, or the sand trickles under te plate. thank you for doing these vidoes, it is very important. so hard to trap now, must register them, and so many other stupid laws. the national parks are the biggest problem , it protects animals we need culled. no one can trap or hunt animals we need to control. yet more and more areas are turned into parks. my way of life, hunting, the gov is trying to remove from our culture. i loved trapping. i love the bush i cannot live without it.

[@barra650]

It's hard loosing a good mate . My big fella past away a couple of months ago , so I know how you feel . All the best .

[@rareaussie6960]

Thanks Clark 👍mate I trapped back in the 70/80s towards the snowy mountains and I just learned something from you 👍thank cobber 🇦🇺👍🇦🇺👍I can now pass what I just learned from you along with what I already new to a couple of young blokes I no who are keen trappers to 🍺👍🇦🇺 thanks mate cheers 🍻

[@stephencox4718]

Chocky passes doing what he dose & loves best. Great dog right to the end!

[@paulreilly3904]

Not a vendetta? I do believe you Clark, and I'm being serious. But you are a better man than I. A beloved dog, even a working dog is a huge loss, you have my sympathies. Enjoying your videos as a subscriber from Oxford UK.

[@pauljay1328]

Sorry for your loss mate

I’m going through the steps now to plan a fence to keep dingoes out & my dogs in.

[@kyledavis1454]

Top videos man, keep em coming. My 2 young blokes watch them with me in the evenings. Good work on those dogs and other nuisances. My wifes family from near Nundle saw the damage and suffering caused by these things first hand. Keep up the effort. We'll probably never be rid of them but every effort counts.

[@georgesmith8113]

[@bigd4000]

Great vid mate ur attention to detail is the secret to catching them👍 Have recently had another shoulder op so have been bored out of my mind till I found ur channel so have subd an watched heaps of ur vids an pretty sure I recognised a bit of road up past Mt Carbine that I have driven many times? Lived and hunted up the cape for 30 odd yrs but down the sunny coast now an soooo miss my hunting, wood luv to bag a deer for the freezer but finding a property down here is problematic due to people doing the wrong thing an stuffing it for everyone 👎 Anyway stay safe budd an look forward to ur nxt vid🤙

[@intothenight1993]

Good video mate. Hope you can catch them. Its always interesting watching different people set traps for wild dogs. Always learning different techniques to have up your sleeve. Thanks for sharing.

[@normanhoman7133]

Sorry to hear about your loss, the art of being a successful dogger, it's a pleasure watching your videos you happily share what can only be described as a continuous improvement process. How to outsmart the dog without educating the dog.

[@craigtomkinson2837]

What a great explained trap set, Awesome

I am sorry for your loss. Our own doggo, Kibbitz, left us almost eleven years ago, and we miss himso. Never got another dog, tho, still too soon.

GREAT WORK...WELL DONE MATE

[@glenbaker4024]

I’m really sorry to hear about Chocky. I truly sympathise. I’ve watched these videos out of order so I know you get at least two of the offenders. My heart goes out to you both. You have some great looking dogs, do you breed them? I’ve always had border collies, best dogs on earth.Ps. I had trouble getting foxes with a box trap, a cocky told me to put it in the chook yard for a week with my gloves and chook food in it. After a week I put on the soiled gloves and baited the trap just outside the coop. Caught a fox the first night then washed the trap and repeated the process for months; worked every single time.

[@ellertorresiii1081]

You’re the expert Clark. Don’t listen to them. RIP CHOCKY! Love your contents.
