  1. Looks like the goods for catching fox cubs and leverets, not so good in the hills on anything fast but you must be patient to wait three days for a retrieve so god speed to you wildlife warrior, you're all heart ??.
  2. I thought it was a Mali cross Irish Setter ?
  3. I recued one from a mineshaft, reared it for a couple of months and one day it just wondered off. It came back as an adult and would sit with my free range chickens without harming them. If you took more time to observe wildlife instead of searching for slugs you might learn something.?
  4. I remember having a hunt around a 300acre property, not one rabbit or warren. On the way out I went to the owner's house and caught a dozen under a container next to the house. I've seen this a few times, warrens near houses, I think the rabbits feel protected from foxes and other predators near homes, I don't know. A bit hard for you blokes who like to dig them though.
  5. Good one Guss, the rabbits like the shipping containers. ?
  6. I think that dog would have got free pretty quick. They can kill dogs, I had to put down my friends russell after it attacked an injured roo. My old blue lurcher was sown up a few times from rogue roos. I've heard of big roos drowning multiple dogs in dams, one after the other.
  7. What's he like at training Parson Russells, lol.
  8. I've had my Parson running with a big whippet /grey bitch for years, he can't reach but will whine and hump it's leg for days, makes no difference to his enthusiasm. He's a good hunter but a pain and will fck off on deer and pig scent, desexing makes no difference and a lot of terriers will still be assholes and try to mount bitches. All castration does is mess with their health.
  9. That blokes got that dog well roo proofed. Most of the dogs I've had won't go after roos but will kill them if they go near me. My old pit/am bulldog kills fairly big roos as quick as a terrier kills rats if they come around the house yard.
  10. I usually put neighbor's cats in the bin ?
  11. I know a bloke who was moving to the NT and had to teach his three staghounds to stay out of the water. No way I'd hunt with dogs up there.
  12. Lol, knives are safer for the dogs, I've heard of bullets deflecting off bone and killing pig dogs. If you have good holding dogs using a knife is pretty safe. You can't flip some big pigs so just have to get along side and knife them. I'd rather go for a quiet stroll these days rabbiting, I've always liked hunting rabbits and rats better.
  13. I had an Oz staghound, roo dog pup years ago that showed no interest at all in chasing anything for 18 months, I was concerned but one day it just clicked and he was very good at his job. He was from an old line of working deer/greys too. He was unusual dark ginger colored and very big.
  14. That's interesting, I have a hob that I bought but not sure of his age so I thought it would be better keeping a male kit and getting him done. At least I know he's been cared for from birth and should live for a good while.
  15. Thanks fellas, I was thinking of keeping 4 or 5 jills so it sounds like it should work.
  16. I'd imagine it could be, it's a pretty unusual cross. One well known pig hunter over here had borzoi, I don't know if they were crosses but he shot the whole litter at 6 months because they weren't working good enough on pigs. The poor pups would be just getting their legs at that age. The bloke thinks he knows dogs but he's just a fckwit.
  17. I wonder why they ran all those pups on to that age.
  18. Does anyone know how many jills a vasectomized hob can service per season. I've ended up with two litters and not interested in breeding so I'm thinking of just keeping jills for working and getting one young male cut later, cheers.
  19. Looks like your average ice toking, petrol sniffing 12 year old indigenous brudda over here.
  20. The only truly dead game dog is a dead dog.
  21. Sorry about Pickle mate, she looked a beauty.

    That's the way to do it. We have young country blokes now in $100 000 Landcruisers, they have to work 60 plus hours a week in the mines to afford it. Their young wives want a brand new house with high end furniture and appliances so they have to work too. The kids grow up in childcare, neither has time for the kids, the pets or the garden. I liked the old days, everyone had fck all but they had time for the family, for hunting and fishing and I believe they were a lot happier. Money and things don't make you happy, time to breathe does.

    I grow my own fruit,veg, have chickens for eggs and meat plus a couple of bullock grass eaters which will be eaten some time. I grow my own smoko. I don't want much and have my cars for ten years plus. I don't have much money but I don't spend much. I've never been interested in wealth and being a slave to the system. Simple is good.
  24. Thay's my lurcher and two Parson russells lol.
