When you see this, a poor little kid starving, it's wicked you want to feed them. People think Oz is a vast land of plenty, including our present trouble making Prime Minister but most of the inland can't support much, it's all on the coast, same as Africa, I think. I don't want this to be my great or great great grandkids future. These third world countries really need to control their population, we can't just keep taking them in.

I remember reading about a test on mice and the half starved ones lived twice as long as the well fed ones. The thing is, who wants to live a long time being hungry and miserable, every minute of every fckn day,

How are your whippets to train? I've heard whippets can be a bit harder than the ones with a bit of collie or herding in them. I've been a bit spoiled with mine, she'll pick up anything without hardly needing training.
I really like the look of your bitch
. I think if you put a decent whippet or grew over her you will get a good % of decent workers. I just have the one grew and two terriers now and she follows at heel everywhere I go, extremely obedient, one man dog and a surprisingly good watch dog, also very good in the house and quiet. It's the time and energy you put in, more than formal training that makes them good dogs which you obviously have done.

There isn't too many people in the world, there’s too many people in certain areas of the world.
Indigenous Birth rates are through the roof on certain continents and at extinction levels on others.
We are keeping the indigenous population of others continents with unsustainable birth rates artificially alive whilst allowing our own indigenous people to die out……if white Europeans and their descendants were some kind of shrew or bird, there would be billions getting spent to save us……but we ain’t, we are just white people so they are happy to let us die and just import the other mob instead.
That's true there isn't many white Aussies left either and the ones left are labelled racists if we open our mouths. I've heard people that worked in Africa saving/feeding the starving kids say it was a waste of time, now they are feeding their kids in the same situation. I think we provide 30 billion a year on the indigenous here, they get every hand out and they still are whinging about the first settlers and how hard life is and how evil white people are.

Frustrating that mate my little brothers been out Sydney or Brisbane 7 years home twinge on various different visas has paid over £150,000 in tax to the government in that time and still can stay I know rules are rules and there due to change shortly but frustrating for him trying to build a life an a career not to have roots settled always in back of his head
My wife is from the UK and her cousins had trouble getting to live over here. They are tradesmen and good blokes and they had to do an English test? Half the people in Sydney now can't even speak English yet get the red carpet treatment. Place has gone to hell.

They're letting over 500 000 immigrants a year into Oz under Albanese, people can't find housing. Nothing is going to stop them coming in, there are just too many people in the world now and it's going to get a lot worse. Trump might be able to thin it down with a nuclear war though.

Can a ferret beat a badger? What would happen if a ferret entered a badger's den?
I've never even seen a badger in the flesh but they are a mustelid same as a ferret but 10 times the weight. Like putting Mini-Me up against Tyson, the ferret be fcked.

Bolted black snakes before also lost a jill to a brown snake. She came out and died and the big snake was sunning itself on top of the warren the next day next to our camp. I later stuck to ferreting Winter only

I regret not putting him over a greyhound, he never had one sick day except his last day at 18 and never got badly injured.

id run the european brown hare before any f***ing kangaroo the thing wouldn’t get 100 yards lol
My old pitbullmastiff could catch roos in under 50m and throw them around like a russell with a rat. He did this until he was 15, died at 18 in pic. He'd sneak up like a collie and catch the on a sprint.

Another time I was down there, not hunting, just visiting friends, a lad I knew who designed golf courses was taking us around and showing us some of the courses. I saw some big reds on one of the courses and he was pissed off ! He showed me pics of his Toyota pick up that he’d hit a red with.. it was a right off !
He didn’t like ‘roos !
Cheers.
There are plenty of reds about in many areas here, I've seen a few in pine forest. I can relate to your friend, I was a greenkeeper for 30 odd years. Cats were bad on the greens scratching up the turf and you'd scalp the green when you cut it. I had a staff/cattle cross who I'd take to work to control the feral cats. We'd leave the foxes there, they also killed the cats, rabbits and you'd often find a cat in the bunkers with it's head chewed off, lol.

We were beating a small conifer plantation in the middle of a huge area of arable hoping to flush a few ‘roos to run with the lurchers, but Sod’s law, there were hares shooting out in all directions but not a single ‘roo !
After I came home, I was talking to my Oz pal and he said he shot 25 hares at a farmer’s request, the lads I met had no interest in running hares, they were far more interested in fox and pig.
I was quite amazed at this as the huge areas of land and numbers of hares would be a paradise for coursing.
Cheers.
Where I was on the Western Plains you didn't get many hunters with dogs targeting roos, only some farmers who had the odd staghound. Roos aren't really considered game, just pests and dog food. Yeah mostly pigs and fox. I did know one bloke who was a dedicated roo hunter, he had deerhound/Irish greyhound crosses. It would be great ground there on the hares, there are plenty of them and big, flat land. I wouldn't hunt in the warmer months there, it is crawling with Eastern brown snakes apart from the heat.

The go like the very devil is after there hide round these ends ,your out of order shooting that many I'd of called it at 44
I've never really gone after hares but I liked watching the dogs run the odd one they kjcked up. The areas I hunted rabbits there weren't many hares but the area I shot them had no rabbits for around 40km's either way but was infested with hares and fallow deer. The deer were all colors with plenty of white ones and even some a bluish color. There were hardly any roos, the farmers shot them out and the deer took over

You probably need one chasing your pan lickers for hundreds of k's because they don't want to go back to you, and who could blame them.

U reckon
I don't lamp with dogs and I don't like shooting but I just remember a farmer getting me to shoot some hares and I shot 45 in two hours. I think one of them made one hop in the beam. I didn't know they froze like that until then. Sickening night.

It's going to get harder and harder to find a decent lurcher. Over here in NSW it's all but impossible now. People don't have time for dogs anymore, too busy working to pay bills. Probably a good thing as they will only be kept by keen dogmen and the pups available will be genuine working pups. Good luck with your search.

I went ahead and ordered one and it arrived yesterday.
Could you report back about them Neal, either way. I hate giving the dogs chemicals and prescription drugs and prefer natural remedies if possible. Who knows until you try it out on them., probably worth a go.

Does Australia still have plagues of rabbits? We have a new virus here ,RHD , which is deadlier than myxie. Seems to wipe them out with very little sign of recovery. Any sign of it in Oz?
I have all but given up hunting now but what I've heard they can still be in huge numbers in South Australia. Not great number in NSW but there are pockets. We have new viruses over here but they will never eradicate rabbits. In my area there are more pigs than rabbits, my Parson Russell flushed out a big boar on my property yesterday when the mrs was walking him. We are only on 25 acres but get pigs, deer, rabbits, fox plus all the native animals. When we had jersey steers on the place you never saw anything.

Too rough on the ears.
Real feral pigs are a nightmare with the whippets when your rabbiting, the dogs hate them and a lot of whippets will swing on an ear and get dragged around. I know a few hunters who got whippets as bailers but they ended up lugging. A bit dangerous for the little dogs. Nice pup mate.

Can England follow texas?
in General Talk
Posted
It would be but if you mention reducing populations, people just don't want to hear about it, from govs to the average person. Like it's a taboo subject, they just think dollars, more people, bigger economy. Greed will wipe humans out but I was hoping we'd be smarter. I just think of the earth as a fish bowl, it's reached it's capacity.
