True. But it's also called a social community attitude. It wouldn't happen over night. But over a period of time a property or properties could develop a team or club approach . A week of pig drives, even a long weekend or three. A series of drives on a property or several properties. Make it an annual event. It can be done. But it takes some effort by the landowner or property manager. I'd do it. Boar or Pig Drives are a social event.

Of course pigs will colonise from neighbouring properties.

I remember Marrskai talking about a group of hunters from Darwin going to the Kimberley region for group pig hunts. He reported shooting over 600 pigs. Kymberley is a long distance from Darwin.

We do fix drives with shotguns on three or four Saturdays, in February and March. On a bunch of properties from a 0n hour or two away. Lots of guys doing it. Lots of interest. Word of mouth and introduction onlh. It's been going for years. And it's antecedent is a Hunt Club, that went on for close to a hundred years, every year except for WW2. Us untrustworthy "Germans" living here for a hundred years weren't trusted by the ten Shilling Poms arrived "the year before" from Blighty, to have .22s or shotguns. Between a hundred and fifty up towards 300 foxes shot per year. The local farmers and sons and daughters are often involved. The local farmers often ask one of the farmers sons "when is the fox shooting group coming to my property?"

So it can be done. But "Rule303" you are correct, difficult terrain, the tyranny of distance, regional outback locations, small local populations, all make it much more difficult. The local of "social community" attitudes in general make it more difficult. Independent individualism is not always positive. Teamwork, social bonding, social cohesion, camaraderie can also be positive.

The younger fitter members do the driving walking, The older less fit members do the stationary blocking. The Fox drives have more blockers. But it means all sorts of people can be involved. The Fox group has guys doing it for decades and some elderly guys shoot until the year of their deaths. Great they can still participate even if they can't climb through fences anymore.

Social BBQs or dinners are a good part of it.

Using rifles, not shotguns, makes it more difficult. I'm not sure what is required for safety. I have been part of moose group drives in Sweden and Norway. Only one guy and a dog "driving". Others are blockers. Modern GPS trackers, mapping software, handheld screens might work to monitor shooting ceasefire?

It'd be good for guys doing drives to comment. Maybe I'll start a new educative thread.
