The Feral Pig problem is very very bad in QLD around the Macadamia orchards in particular, trapping works initially but they work it out pretty quickly.

My parents now have wild deer regularly on their property on the edge of Launceston. The problem is, hunters were given strict quotas to allow deer population growth when they were introduced. That still applies, even though the feral numbers are exploding and the number of hunters has dropped off a lot in recent decades.

What do you expect given that hunters have been demonised to the point that there are not enough left to keep the feral animal populations under control.

Pig Brig is very popular in the United States I am surprised it is not used in Australia as a pig trap the science behind it is amazing.
@FeralPestControl10 ай бұрын
Agree. The Pig Brig design allows the trap to continue working even when pigs are caught and it does not have to monitored (remotely) and triggered to close, unlike the trap door approach shown here. So effective and working whilst you sleep 🙂

The notion these creatures are sweet and harmless, built up by countless hollywood movies has to be addressed by raw damage images so we can come to the realisation they have to be removed. Great production on this segment ABC.

You are one of these miss informed radicals that want ever introduced animal removed from the landscape but them selves advising the public on un founded amounts of money lost from farm production and damage to the environment never publishing the thousands of dollars hunting adds to the economy or the fact that some farmers charge hunters to shoot the deer on their property deer have been here as long as white settlers and should be managed not eradicated

Just let hunters in. And change laws so the meat can be processed

Foxes, hares, pigs and goats are huge feral issues (not to mention feral dogs & cats) in western NSW, trouble is, nothing gets done until the populations are way out of control and severe damage is caused. You do the right thing and report to LLS, NSW Parkes and local councils and sweet FA is done.🤔

@dilligaf28185 ай бұрын
Hunters wont try to elimate any ferals cause they wont have nothing to hunt in their area. I have known people to let pigs go in areas closer to where they live so they dont have to travel as far to hunt ...go figure.

Tricks and traps It would be a good little project for Duntroon to observe i think In outsmarting a animal with an fair degree of intelligence in how it survives and what works, why it works how to improvise and integrate in way they can understand

Just have a look at the program in the USA way that millions of feral Hogs are trapped, - and the scale of damage is done to farmland and crops. So, let's start that here in Australia before the wild bores take over our farms.

The government needs to allow us to hunt in National Parks. With large tracts of land off limits to hunting deer and pigs have safe refuge.

Harvesting individual animals for select restaurants I can’t see impacting wild animal numbers. Given the flighty nature of Deer, it’s not like culling mobs of kangaroos. Most hunters will see the logic being illogical.

What do they do with the pigs once they trap them? Are they sold to someone else? Does it become a luau situation immediately after?

Drones are your answer to solving the feral cats and foxes and deer, pig's. It's modifying the drones to identify, like facial recognition and night vision, heat sensors and the drones can eliminate the pest species.
