How could someone who traps dingoes have such a deep affection for them? If you don't understand, maybe you never will.
Man has the ultimate power. He can despoil, he can ignore, he can overreact but he can also open his eyes, mind and heart. Your choice.

Some call them dingoes and some call them wild dogs.
Some say two thirds means they are nearly all pure, while others say that means one third are hybrid.
Some want to see every last one gone, while others want every last one protected no matter what damage they do.
I wish more people would aim for a balanced approach - sustainable management of an animal that can be both a pest and an asset. Maybe the first thing we need to own up to, is that data can be interpreted many ways and it often depends on who has the deepest pockets. After all, what difference can 10-20% really make?
Let the debate continue.

Those that know us will testify, we are crazy about our working line of Border Collies. Some that have seen them working called them "Bad-Ass" and the name has sort of stuck! There's nothing nasty about this new bunch though!

I got the call from a mate down south who was loosing quite a few calves to a pack of wild dogs. Time to pack the Cruiser, load on Skunk and Dash, then hit the road.

Killer wild dogs down south Part 5

The trapline was working but the weather had other ideas. Make every opportunity count and hang in there was all we could do.

If the Heritage Herd of red deer, running in the ranges of south eastern Queensland Australia, had the natural increase rate of other deer species around the globe, by now there would be millions of them but there simply isn't. In this clip, we look at the Limiting Factors keeping this great deer herd in a check.

Unfortunately when anything, plant, animal or person, is given the label "Feral", it carries with it negative overtones. This has been done by design, it has been intentional and it has steered the narrative in the desired direction for those within Government who wish to have all wild deer removed. Once they are gone and once landholders are locked into a "Pest animal control" spiral, only licensed, accredited and fully scrutinised professional pest controllers will be allowed to own and use firearms. This issue (one of so many) is not about wild deer only, it is about your freedom and your hunting heritage. It is about total control.

If something has no value, is it worthless?

The history of wild red deer in south eastern Queensland, Australia is quite amazing but something that has never been recognised used by Government. This Heritage herd of deer are still there, in the same rangeland they were introduced to but for how much longer? Follow their story by joining us for this series of videos.

The Invasive Species Council has released the Feral Deer Strategy 2022/27 for public comment. This is your chance to have your say. The RIDGE group has asked me to produce a series of clips to explain this complex situation as best we can so that you, the hunter, landholder, outdoor enthusiast, homeowner in a suburb with newly arrived wild deer, concerned motorist etc, can better understand the whole situation. Please support this small group with their efforts.

With a great free range red stag under our belt, it was time to try for a fallow as well. Gary had his confidence back after some fine shooting the day before so we headed out on daybreak once again.
