Pepper my Stumpy Cattle Dog, manages to catch her first pig, a solid Boar...

how to carry out wild boar.mp4

We were short on time, trapping in country with too much grass and water, plus it was an area we have trapped many times before so we were facing a few very trap-shy dogs. We simply had to try every trick in the book if we were to be successful.

My First time hunting a new block and the dogs stumble across 2 boars at the same time on the edge of the rainforest. Can the Bailers pull them up, or can I stop them with my 3030.

You may have heard me say it before but it's worth saying again. We face a crucial time in our hunting history. If we are not prepared to stand to our digs and support true recreational hunting, then just accept what you get. Changes to firearm ownership in WA and Qld should give you a warning if you have the mindset to listen. If you want everything for free and without effort, then brace yourself for what is to come.

With one dog caught, it seemed that the valley had gone quiet, simply too quiet. Ever trapline can have a period where you have to do the hard yards. Read the sign, improve your set patterns and enjoy your time in the bush, it will all come together.

I have had people unsubscribe and send flavoursome comments saying I should keep my opinions to myself. Maybe I should. Maybe I shouldn't care if our hunting culture in Australia fades away over the next few decades but the fact is I do care, so here goes another opinion on where we are heading.
It is up to us all to do far more to preserve what we have for the future, otherwise the sound of choppers and gunfire (or 1080 baiting stations) will arrive at your favourite hunting spot sooner or later.

There is little doubt that the dingo or Australian wild dog, think they rule supreme over their selected patch of bushland. While the saltwater crocodile may be more ferocious, the only thing that can match the dingo in their own environment is man. The test was on, who would rule the valley, them or us?

The team and I headed across to the next property after a very successful trapline. We had limited time left until we needed to be back down south, so we would need to evaluate each patch of sign we found and set accordingly. We would need different sets for each situation. Think hard, set well and watch the results.

Time to pull all the "Bling", the chains and the metal, out of the ground, clean it up and get ready for the next project. Was there time for one more dog?
Skunk seemed to be very confident, while Brandon, Dash, Rob and Chancy just enjoyed the ride.

With an awesome chital stag in the bag for Gareth, it was time to hunt for another big old-timer for his dad Shane. We wanted something that also had that "Wow" factor.

It was our second last day of the trapline and tracks were getting scarce. Time to check, recheck, make some last minute changes and see if we can finish with one or two more dogs.
