Re: Relocated Dingo's causing problems

Do Badders are always obsessed with canids and the attempt to wreck other people's lives. Ditto the wolf worshipping that occurs here.

Your situation mirrors ours in terms of hunting conditions. Standard fare here. Now, are you implying that you Ozzies are too used to easy hunting conditions!? { }

Here...let's say coyotes...are very hard to hunt due to the brush and heavily timbered and rough/mountainous terrain {making bad/swirling wind conditions} and horrible weather. It is a struggle. Canids are maybe the toughest animals on earth to kill as individials...and that is one reason the Greenies love them.

Lots of time will be spent in the pursuit with little to show for it, but when you kill one you gain a sense of accomplishment similar to shooting a great trophy buck, or better, since you are potentially saving a great trophy buck, and 11 other ungulates for the year! {average ungulate numbers each year killed by each coyote; 12, wolves kill 20+ ungulates per wolf} I suspect dingos have to eat something, and that something is stuff people want to save; cattle/calves, other desireable species.

Try various calls; rabbit squealers, howlers, electric calls, etc. Change your calls. Make sure you have the wind in your favor, and never call with the wind blowing your scent into the area from which you expect the dog to come.

Trap and snare. Traps are a pain to maintain in wet and slushy weather. Snares are easier to carry and if you have a good bait set {carcass, etc, whatever attracts dingos [?]} you can keep them running all year long. You will smile big when you walk up on your first dog with a noose around its neck.

If they really come in to homes, leave a plate full of Xylitol sweetened cookies out for them. Nice little gift of a bowl of milk and cookies = dead dogs. There you go!

Let's face it. Predators are the "in" crowd in the "Western" world these days. Hell, when all we do is "register" pedophile sex offenders and don't give them the bullet in the head they deserve, can you really expect modern society to have any desire to put the bite on stock-killing canines? Hell, no, they want to spread them around!

Do your best. It'll be time consuming, inefficient, difficult, and if some local dingo worshippers get wind of your work they probably try to crucify you in print {maybe it's not that bad yet in Oz?} and in the final analysis if they get entrenched you won't be able to make much of a dent in them {canids are prolific}. But don't give up. Preserve the predator killing philosophy and at least pass THAT down to the next generation!
