When I lived in QLD, I enjoyed firing them from my orange cannon, 200m average distance! They still live at the other end though! Air gun won't kill them, even a head shot and they hop away. 5 iron is the best allround 'tool', breaks their skull and pretty much takes them down. We used to have reqular 'hunts' to clean them up and it would really keep the numbers down.

I agree it is a bit of a waste of time trapping them in suburbia when there is probably 10,000,000 acres of bush in the territory for them to infest but something has to be done! If you can only kill 500 per year then that is 500,000,000 eggs that don't get laid next year and that's gotta count for something if everyone is doing it.

Widespread trapping within the territory would help keep the numbers down, but never eradiacate them all.

The CSIRO should have been on this problem 20 years ago and developed a biological agent to kill them or make them sterile. The cane toad will decimate the wildlife in the NT, right though the food chain.

I hate them, as you may have noticed, the idiots who brought them here need to be slapped around for a week or two! hehehe
