mate i wouldnt start saying u know poeple who brought a creature like that in to tassie if i was you otherwise a few people might be knocking on your door soon enough i dont think it matters on this site to much but out in a local pup you would wanna hope its the cops talking to you and not any of the blokes in there

iv seen a doco of a dingo getting squashed down a hole years ago and there definatly more then capable of doin it you have to be pretty close to even pirce it with a bulliet. assumedly.

i had a JR that was a prick for going down wombat holes. he lasted 15 years giving them hell all the time and only got knocked out once when he was 12 it didnt stop him tho. it not something i ever encouraged him to do or wanted him to do when i got him at 12 months old he already had the habbit and i could never break it. i never tryed to hard either.

he was always left to roam free over our 1000 acre farm he would often bugger off for the day and come back covered in clay from battling the bats all day underground. he lost all his teeth trying to chew on there thick skin. he used to be able to bring the wombats to about 1 or 2 meters from the enternce and you could call him out and reach in and shoot the wombat as its legal to kill them in my area under the protection of livelyhood law.

 

i seen him get hold of a few above ground and they had a shitload of attuide about them, there was little he could do to them they were over twice his weight and often got hold of him and would try to rag him usualy opening him up

musta been a smart dog to live that long i guess i knew somone would have a story tell me was it a pain in the arse with rabbits aswell or just wombats

[Guest Lady-Hunter07]

Can you eat wombat?

[hairybull 3]

Its edible but as they are protected in most states it wouldnt be common. I think they're a bit porkish- never tried it though there are only a few in WA

my old mans reakconed he did it back in the day but i guess it would be like eating a possum or a koala just wouldnt sit quite right although i think they only eat roots and things so they wouldnt taste to bad proberly

a tassie will make shitt of a fox thats one of the reasons there arnt any foxes in tasmania

Allgame you are dead right, a Tassie will destroy a fox, anyone who says otherswise has never seen a Tassie. Was down there earlier in the year and an old sheep cocky was telling since the devils have been developing tumours on their faces and started to die quite heavily all over the island foxes are know becoming numerous. He says that without a doubt was the Tassies that kept the foxes in check.

There was a good article on them in yesteday's Courier Mail. Did you read it Jager?

They don't reckon the little buggers have got long left with this tumour. Reckon it's from the forestry spraying

No mate, didn't get yesterdays paper, herbicides sounds about right though. Steve Irwin set up a sanctuary up near here a few years back, for the very reason of having a separate population in case something did start to happen too them in Tasmania. How'd u pull up this morning?

that tumour things to bad i quite like the look of tassie devils

[roystoncrankted 1]

Its a good way to get a dog killed The bat crouches down with its arse to the entrance allowing the dog to climb up its back, then it stands up crushing the air out of the dog with its boney plate in its back this suffercates the dog then no more fido.

Not a good target speices.
