Boars in Oz


Recommended Posts

Cheers Dom.

Struth you're a long way from home. It's worth having a look around this forum. Different world to Oz. The blokes who comment on this thread will be interested in anything you've got to post on Oz hunting. (And don't tell the Game Council I'm posting on forums ha ha)

(I'll just make the point again that we don't stand around taking photos of dogs on pigs. The photos are the best of hundreds that are shot on the run in to grab the pig. To stand around risks injury

great too see your posing again ned really love the posts you put up. do you have a season on the pigs or is it pretty much all year round?

Thanks again everyone. Mikey there are no real seasons for pigs but you might have to move around to get onto numbers... For instance in our district we get fafr more pigs in the winter because the need for food and the general l;ack of water forces the pigs out of the national parks and places like that and into the farmland. However, west of here about three hours summer time is when they harvest wheat and other cereal crops and the stubble paddocks can provide some relatively easy pickings. If you've got the country to hunt you can hunt all year round but the tactics have to change because heat exhaustion is a greater threat to pig dogs than the pigs.

 

Cheers.

Been a little while between posts so I thought I'd better give you an update.

 

I'm still working as a Game Manager and I've been given some extra duties in developing a dog training program for pig catchers. I am also off to the US tomorrow to going hunting with a Texas pig catcher, talk to a few wildlife/hunter managers and maybe get a bit of TV time ha ha.

There's talk of a TV show being interested in doing some stuff on me having a hunt so we'll see what happens there.

 

I'll post some pix of what we catch and what i see and let you know if the TV thing comes to pass.

 

Cheers.

I'll post a few pix while I'm over there...

I'm sitting in the deaprture lounge in Sydney right now waiting to fly out. Amazing to me that pig catching can become a matter of international significance ha ha.

Cheers.
