Thanks mate.

Thanks mate. Yes he had a great time apart from the mozies haha

Haha he is.

Thanks mate. He might make a good trapper one day.

Just like his dad

@@mattycoombes58 haha better probably.

Thanks mate.

Thanks mate

Thanks mate. I watch Clarks videos too. He's a top bloke and a good trapper. Much better than myself but I'm learning a lot from his channel that I've been putting into practice with good results. In this video is the only time I've had them digging up traps. So next time I'm down there on that block I'll be trying some of his techniques to see if I can get the mongrel that is playing hard to catch. But thanks for the encouragement. Yes I do try and put the effort into making sure the sets are right. Because if you get sloppy, you don't get results. Only educated dogs. Yes Henry is a good little helper (most of the time 😉) and he loves checking the traps with me or finding out how I went when I get home when he couldn't come. So I might make a trapper out of him yet 👌

@@intothenight1993 I didn’t want to mention the other trappers name or videos, then be seen putting yours down, but as you have mentioned Clarkes, he is a very good trapper and he has some really good ideas when it comes to catching a dog that digs the traps out. I think your doing a great job when it comes to eradicating feral animals Pigs, Foxes,Dogs and the rest of them. It always makes me wonder what other properties are like that don’t keep them down, it must be like heaven for them until they step onto your place then it does become heaven. Anyway all the best and keep those videos coming

@@guttasnipe4702 thanks mate. Haha if hate to think what they are like elsewhere but they really are in trouble.

Thanks mate

Yes he is.

No worries mate. 👍

Thanks mate. Haha i love making the content when I'm at work.

Haha is it safe to put on your skin😉

@@intothenight1993 Some people react to it, but it works great. UK found it ate the stocks on first gen SA 80

@@onemoredeadman ok Henry reacts to the aerogard. Must be the deet in it

Thanks

Thanks mate. 👍

Yeah that's what i think too. I like the idea Ian had with jacking them out. Saves the extra digging

I actually thought of making a slide hammer on the handle on my puller i already have.

@@intothenight1993 Was about to suggest that, how does it work?

@@johnmead8437 I didn’t end it doing it as I drilled a hole in a longer bit of plate steel and put it over the handle and it sticks out the back to give me more leverage. It works well.

Thanks Ian. That's a great Idea! I could just make up something to attach to the stake and use my high lift jack! I'll work on it. Yeah I've heard of them chewing their legs off but I've never had that happen yet. I have had them die in the trap quickly in the hot weather when i couldn't get to check the traps till the afternoon.

@@intothenight1993 I was thinking that a slide hammer modified on the end may make things a bit easier when pulling those stakes.

@@pffft111 yeah i was thinking the same but didn't want all that extra weight so I came up with a different idea. Watch this video and you'll see what I did and its been working really well. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oZaXeNVzktm9lH0.html

👍

Thanks but I have since changed and now use a cable crimp over the tail end and they can’t go anywhere.

@@intothenight1993 mine now all stainless chain trap is always 2m from stake 2in deep timber branch on top grand father called it the step over.

Thanks mate. Yes it is the beginning of Autumn (fall) here. It has cooled off a bit especially at night but just good comfortable weather really. I could use a dirt hole set but they aren't as effective as a scent lure at this time of the year when they are breeding. Yeah Australia is a great place. I've never left the country and don't intend to anytime soon as there is still a lot of Australia I still haven't seen yet haha.

Yeah. Like a bee vale. Thanks

Yeah we used to bait here too but I much prefer to shoot or trap them. It's a lot more humane. Keep into them mate.

@@intothenight1993 # 1 is the objective: to get rid of as many as possible ASAP? & #2 is the humane effects compared between techniques. If the dross is removed from the arguments, it's difficult to see a poorly shot dog or overnight trapped one being any better than a much faster illness. & that stuff has deadly poison on the label for a very good reason. It's not idiot proof and many of the problems can be attributed to that. Doing large scale jobs showed using poison, then traps, then shooting, finally dogs was the general outline that worked most effectively: least disturbance to most sequence. The last few cost as much as the first 95% usually, and with really good detector operators it was too common to find eradicated populations somehow had resurrected.

Thanks mate. In central qld👍

Sure is mate. But rewarding.

Do you double stake them?

@@intothenight1993 No a single 18 inch angle stake would hold most any thing on land but in muddy creek bottoms I would use the rebar stake for the holding power as coyotes and bobcats are about the same size as the dogs you trap but for the much larger wolves I use longer stakes. i often would use heavy drag sets made from heavy tree limbs nearby ,they work well especially back in the day before offset jaws were introduced widely.

Thanks mate. Yes I've thought of that but didn't want the extra weight to carry around. I've come up with another idea that i showed in a later video. I just drilled a hole in a bit of steel plate and slip that over the handle and it acts as a leaver. Works pretty well and i don't need to have it attached all the time when i don't need it. 👌

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oZaXeNVzktm9lH0.html 18:20

Yeah that's an idea too thanks. This is good. I want to save weight and carting around extra tools.

It is cheaper than chain and easy to work and just as strong if not stronger.

You must be in SA? I worked for a year in SA near swan reach and was so glad to come back home to QLD to real grass again haha. But salt bush country still has its beauty.

@@intothenight1993 yeah Whyalla

@@cantwellron11 cool. I have a lot of family in SA from Wudinna to Adelaide and surrounds. Good fox shooting country down there. That's one of the things i really miss from down there.

Yes might give it a go if i get any trouble again. Just starting another run atm

Haha i did have the strongest insect repellent on that i could get and it didn't make much of a difference. The mosquitoes were so plentiful and savage i don't think they cared about what i tasted like. 🤣 I've never seen them that bad before.

Haha you would need one heck of a big fire to keep those mozzies away. I think they even liked the taste of aeroguard they were so hungry! 🤣🤣

@@intothenight1993 with green leaves more smoke or a face net

@@THEFALCON58 a face net might be handy but they bite right through even a jumper and a shirt. They are savage! 😒

@@intothenight1993 A tennis racket .? you cant miss

A tennis racket .? you cant miss, send them over the fence.?

I get a bounty on them from our local council.

No definitely not on the mainland. Only on Fraser Island.

And these wouldn't be pure bred anyway.

A recent study of dingo genetics has established that the vast majority of mainland dingoes actually are almost pure breeds.

@@OVTraveller yes id believe it. But I'll still shoot and trap them.

No. Near Taroom

@@intothenight1993 cheers channel country I am a jandowae lad dangore range linvill hunting ground foxes 🦊 moolah Dalby region back in the 80ies got a few silver 🦊 foxes back in the day top dairy country. Love ya work stay safe.

Haha because I don’t have one.

Thanks for that mate. Might look into it

??

@@intothenight1993 mention me in your video ie, my name please.?

@@THEFALCON58 why do you want me to mention you?

I’ve tried that years ago and it still didn’t keep them away when they are bad.

yep because they destroy our calves. Family history or bloodlines don't make up my mind whether or not they are trapped or shot for killing calves. The court doesn't (or shouldn't) decide to send a criminal to jail based on their family history or where they come from but because of the crimes they commit.

Sure they might kill the odd pigs but that’s like saying a spider in your house wall is helping control the flu problem. Yes it might get a few but you can kill the spider so it not making your house look untidy but it won’t make a difference to the fly population. There are far more effective control methods than relying on a few dogs. So with the dogs out the picture the pigs are not going to breed up much faster but we will have a lot less problems losing stock or fixing fence and sorting out stock that have been chased though fences and mixed up with other stock they shouldn’t be.

Thats no different to saying a burglar should be left alone when they are stealing your money.

@@intothenight1993 bloody greens hey mate
