Having hunted Wild Dogs in the Bundarrah Valley which abuts the Alpine National Park near Omeo in Victoria, I can tell you they are next to impossible to hunt in the scrub......lots of scrub...lots of cover....not many vehicle tracks!

In this area, none of the dogs are pure-bred Alpine Dingos...all cross-breeds with no conservation value whatsoever!

They can really only be hunted in open country at daybreak by lying up for them near their access tracks from cover...a very hit and miss affair....lots of early starts to no avail.

Electric fences are a waste of money....usually only end up frying a few Wombats!

Trapping is done, but the Doggers will tell you thay are cunning buggers, and they are difficult to trap

Baiting is a worry in settled areas because of the risk to domestic dogs. More than once I have been close to taking my Brittany off to the Vet when she has looked a bit green around the Gills, since I hunt Rabbit and Quail with her in paddocks abutting the Park.

The Cocky's in this area fixed the Wild Dog problem...they gave Sheep the flick and put in Cattle....although they might be regretting this given the current price of Lamb in Melbourne!!!
