A lot depends on where you are hunting. In the ranges of eastern New South Wales, dingos are large-bodied, wily animals which are very difficult to align the sights on, and make very worthwhile hunting quarry. Experienced hunters are able to 'howl them up' and bring big males in to the gun. Exciting stuff!

In the Northern Territory where I live, wild dogs are usually a bit scrawny, and not difficult to approach, so less of a hunting challenge.

Of course, if the property owner expects you to shoot them as an informal condition of hunting access, then they die!

There is a movement Australia-wide to elevate the status of the pure wild dingo to that of native fauna, but their genome is already polluted by interbreeding with feral dogs in most parts of the country (as in Gryph's photo above). Any hint of that, and they are immediately feral pests to be destroyed at every opportunity.

For those reasons, the law here in my home state protecting dingos is token only, as it would be impossible to prove dingo or dog. Therefore, no-one could ever be charged with this offence in the NT.
