- Introductory To Dingo Trapping
It’s taken a while, but the roads have finally dried out enough to drive the good ol’ Isuzu around and put out lick again. Today I want to introduce you to dingo trapping whilst out on a run, and the importance of wild dog management on a cattle station.

Enjoying your content, the crain on the truck would come in handy, how many bovines do you run.
yep the audio is ok when i used to work in the middle of the nullabor plains we would get a really sharp knife cover it with stricknene fasten it in the ground next mornin the dingo would be lyin dead by the knife the dog bleeds out would get one pound from the government dogman would come through we got paid long time ago that
So would anything else that gets tagged. Non target risk, and what is humane are factors that need mitigation. It's noted in a few circumstances some techniques less palatable may have their place in one-off situations to get problem individual pests. Problem if those techniques are allowed the average hunter will abuse their use. A bit like the semi auto firearm argument, few actually need or can use them effectively, but many think they can. If hunters were as good as they think they are there wouldn't be such an invasive pest problem worldwide.
Have you heard about Land Holders For Dingos ?
Do you know that if you stop trapping, baiting and shooting dingos that live stock attack stops ?
I'm on a station and we stopped killing dingos and the livestock attacks on cattle and sheep stopped.

Just found your channel and loved the video, thank you. Country is a bit different compared to here in Crookwell I must say. And that truck of yours is a real star too ! Keep on trappin ! Good work !
Thank you!! We will do more trapping videos in the future!
Luv Aussie shows just had to subscribe cheers mate 👍🍻🇦🇺
Reminds me of what I do when out caretaking on cattle sheep and goat properties cheers 👍🍻🇦🇺
Thank you for your support, there's plenty more to come!!
Whats that yellow ball with holes in that attract cow?
G'day there,
We put our water lick (cattle supplements) into the black tub and the yellow balls that sit down in the black tub are what the cattle spin and lick supplement off. If you wanted to look at some of our other videos, you can see this in action. Have a great day!
Quick question. What stops the cattle from stepping on the dingo trap? Particularly calfs, which even in the heat of the middle of the day up this way, still seem to jump around like puppies?
Occasionally cattle will set off a trap etc., but I try hard to set them in spots that the cattle won't /can't get to.
Thanks for all these vids mate
👍👍
were in Australia is this farm ???
This is Dulthara station located between Hughenden and Georgetown in north west Queensland
@@lifeonthelickrun is this gold county
We are on the southern edge of the gold country. There isn't much gold on Dulthara.
Don't stop trapping mate it's just another tool to control the menace 👍
very true
Land holders for dingos. Look it up.
We stopped trapping, baiting and shooting dingos and the livestock attacks stopped. The dingos go back to eating their real food which is roos, emus, wallabies and small creatures.

How do cattle get enough water with that yellow ball? Never seen anything like it.
This isn't water, this is ''lick''. Lick is a supplement that is fed to cattle that contains minerals and trace elements. check out more of my videos at Life on the lick run
Didn't think Dingoes were a problem with cattle?
Part of why I have started this TH-cam channel is to share information about the realities of living on a cattle property. The biggest loss of calves suffered by most cattle producers are from dingos. Dingos hunt in packs usually between 3-6 and one or two will keep the mother cow busy while the others run in for the kill on the calf. The results are horrific.
@@lifeonthelickrun Thanks. My uncle was running sheep on their property in Hill End district but was losing too many of the breeding ewes so took a gamble on improving the infrastructure (fences yards etc) and moved to cattle over a 3 year period. It's been twelve years and still plenty of Dingoes/wild dogs but he reckons he's never had a problem with the cattle, only scavenging the odd carcass from still born calves. He was monitoring calving with trail cams to identify any problem dogs and if it encouraged larger packs to form to compensate larger prey. Birthing always attracts them but he reckoned after showing interest early in the first season but the cows would gang up to protect each new born and were kept away from still born until they'd moved. Reckons because most have gone to cattle so Dingoes have mainly been preying on young roos and goats (bloody ferals). Must just be lucky with the environment they're in having enough other prey that cattle aren't worth the kicks in the head and guts to go the calves. My aunty is happy to because she's never lost another of her dogs to 1080 since he stopped baiting the property.
I worked on large sheep properties in SA's north and over on the west coast for 8 years, but of course no Dingoes there anymore but the foxes were doing damage so I can understand the frustration of losing potential future breeders or young wethers with potentially up to 5 years of fine wool. Only ran medium to fine and first cross poll dorset fat lambs.
Thank you for your input. When I speak from experience I'm talking about my area in north west Queensland where I have lived my whole life. I understand dingos/wildlife act differently in other parts of the country.
@@lifeonthelickrun Opinions vary, some without substance. Some pure rubbish about familiar hunting topics comes from the same sources at times, making any opinions from there subject to query.
This from being unfamiliar with any but localised dog problems, usually stray pets/lost pig dogs, & not a hands-on active dog hunter. But enough with other pest species (& hunting dog) experience both for conservation & commercial give some ideas, many principles cross over species. Interest in Aus dogging due to an unusual local wild dog infestation occurring in NZ & learning the ropes.
Some doggers are farming them, getting the easy ones, spooking them off hanging around the calves, but often not getting all the old ones that are likely the individuals addicted to calves & doing the annual pup training.
Some trapping seems purely educating dogs, fine for long term work prospects.
Something to consider with novel attractants, excellent if used to get the hard ones in isolation, instead of training the pack that the attractant is dangerous.
Getting the entire pack would probably result in a new pack arriving. If that pack wasn't doing damage, & defending their patch from others, they'd not be such a problem. They could be an asset if they contribute to fox and cat control, or wild pigs. An impression is some pig populations have small litters/few juveniles, & whether a is due to wild dogs effectively predating would be interesting. It's also possible they are vermin pests themselves and their problem impacts outweigh any benefit. The equation is usually complicated & given the extinctions they contributed to the argument they are "native" seems idealistic.
@@reddog5378 You are right.
Search Land Holders For Dingos.
When you stop trapping, baiting and shooting dingos the livestock attacks stop. This works in all parts of Australia.
We stopped killing dingos and the livestock attacks stopped. They then eat their natural food which is competition for livestock. Even better profits.
Great video mate your truck is awesome driving old style
Thanks mate. 👍👍
