Friend or Foe - The Never Ending Battle with Wild Dogs in Australia

[@joshuanicholson420]

So glad to see some wild dogs go down. As soon as you showed the terrain, mentioned dogs and then the comment about snow I had some clues to where you maybe and the wild dog problem there is immense. In my time trekking Aussie bush, dogs by far most worrisome encounters.

Wild dogs are no joke . When I was a possum hunter in NZ I was running a poison line way out bush and got stalked by a pack for about 3 hours they where cutting through the bush and surrounding me the whole time I have to admit it's the first time iv been happy to get out of the bush !

[@redfaux74]

You couldn't shoot them?

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Yeah they can be a bit daunting, especially in packs.

[@omnomshibob]

I've nobbled a few possums in NZ myself. Had to use my rental car though as they don't let tourists run around with the right equipment.

[@BadlydrawnBen]

@@redfaux74 we worked remote blocs often getting chopperd in . We where used instead of 1080 poison we used a small cyanide pill we would wrap a paste over then staple to trees in zip lock bags we ran trap lines to monitor progress and a nice little sideline in fur last step was lamping with .22 Rugers and torches we also did some shooting mainly for goats as we where DOC contractors Deer where fair game and better eating then goat or possum when we where out bush 6 days a week badly hungover on Mondays .

[@markhepworth]

First comment I’ve seen so far that is measured and to the point of what’s being done here,the others all been a bit “hell yeah let’s kill something” Shooting dogs that have gone wild is not something that should be done for fun,the character of someone who dies that is suspect... this is about Australia’s native wildlife and to some extent livestock protection.

[@art-is-lazy4509]

Ill never forget as a young fella just on my Ps driving from our farm to stay with a footy mates family on the Great Divide, i rounded a bend in the road and noticed a very large black and tan kelpie looking dog just like the one you shot working some sheep really tight in the corner of a road side paddock. I slowed to watch the dog working the sheep and realised there were no humans about. I pulled over and got out to take a closer look and seen clearly there were already a few sheep down and others torn up and bleeding. Finally realising what was going on i grabed a shovel out of the back of my ute and went after the dog, i got pretty close before he decided to split and i was begging to wonder if he was alone and if hed come after me. I stopped at the next farmhouse i came across and was told a pack had moved in and kill over a hundred sheep. After tea and scones i headed the extra 40min to my mates house and they confirmed the situation. My mates uncle set up a hunt and over a coupla weekends they dropped 5 dogs and then the remainder moved on. That was a rare event, now bloody wild dogs are everywhere.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

That's pretty epic mate. Unfortunately a lot of locations like you described just don't have any sheep now. The dogs just became too bad and costly, both emotionally and financially.

Good! I have a friend who had a hobby farm with 40 sheep. A small pack of domestic dogs got in his paddock one night and killed or maimed 26 that died or had to be put down. The local ranger said it was common for normally docile dogs to pack up and become feral going into a primal rage only to go to their respective homes after the event as if nothing happened and made it hard for him to track them down.

@@EDGEoftheOUTBACK I'm seeing what you are saying. You don't shoot if you can't identify the target with 100 percent confidence it's the target you are after. How do you know if the other hunters are in that mindset. That's where I'd be worried. Especially with night hunting. If you are sitting in one spot for hours, how do you know if another hunter has not got you in their thermal thinking is that a dog or a human. I might be over thinking this but accident's can happen. On a lighter note. I enjoy your videos 👍

Shortly into my thermal rifle scope journey and I can relate exactly to what you have just touched on here in this vid. You are winning with the thermal on picking up and tracking your target, but on the other hand, hesitant (and rightly so), to pull the trigger due to confirmed target. The dogs look like real problems, well done, and hopefully to the shots in the distance.
