Rip Choky - As a city-slicker aussie, I'd like to say how I appreciate videos like this. Gives me an insight into the lives of those Australians living outside city-limits, dealing with part of the country life that we aren't privy too and a lot of the time don't understand. So this channel and your videos mate are fantastic - keep it all up.
RIP CHOCKY !!! .....after watching him in so many videos, he felt like a virtual family member to us here in Brisbane. We admire and respect you folk for what you do ! - Take care x
No !!!! i loved and had a real soft spot for that dog . I Remember when he used to curl up on my feet and others in front of the fire in winter when i was up there . Such an intelligent and great natured dog. RIP Choccy Our thoughts are with you Clark and Judy
Clark I am glad you are showing me where I messed up in the past. I am now 67 and tried my hand at trapping and was not good at it. You have already taught me several items I did wrong. Keep it up.
Sad day Clarke hope you catch the dogs I really enjoy your vids keep them coming I am 73yrs old been shooting all my life learned a lot from my field craft still going strong best wishes to you and your good lady .
Sorry for your loss... I love your videos how you explain what you are doing and why it's totally fascinating especially when you mention things that can only be known from years of experience it's bloody awesome. Better than anything on TV no doubt about it.
Condolences Clark and Judy on the loss of your long time mate, Chocky. He was a fine dog, and knew his job well... now he runs the forests over the rainbow bridge.. ❤❤
Thanks Clark 👍mate I trapped back in the 70/80s towards the snowy mountains and I just learned something from you 👍thank cobber 🇦🇺👍🇦🇺👍I can now pass what I just learned from you along with what I already new to a couple of young blokes I no who are keen trappers to 🍺👍🇦🇺 thanks mate cheers 🍻
when my pop took me trapping back in the 70s on for foxes and he would when possible set just before a rain, in victoria its easier than n.s.w or qld, never used gloves, we would sprinkle water over the area, and yes very cunning foxes that had been caught and chewed off their leg to get out, became very hard to catch. we would elevate a bait up high, set traps back away from under a trap. also we used beer cans with spikes and not peg a trap in the ground, never lost a fox that way, just tracked it down. dogs are stronger though, every day we would check traps. or we wired a trap to a fence so it could slide. we always used cut up news paper, sand its a must, or the sand trickles under te plate. thank you for doing these vidoes, it is very important. so hard to trap now, must register them, and so many other stupid laws. the national parks are the biggest problem , it protects animals we need culled. no one can trap or hunt animals we need to control. yet more and more areas are turned into parks. my way of life, hunting, the gov is trying to remove from our culture. i loved trapping. i love the bush i cannot live without it.
Not a vendetta? I do believe you Clark, and I'm being serious. But you are a better man than I. A beloved dog, even a working dog is a huge loss, you have my sympathies. Enjoying your videos as a subscriber from Oxford UK.
For several years I ran a deer ranch in south Texas. I ran a lot of snares. I normally killed over a 100 coyotes per year. Haven’t seen you use snares out there. Clean out an area and a new group would try to move in. But they had to come under the fence to do so. That’s where the snares work best.
Our son Kurt and wife Esther trap and snare a lot of wolf and coyote in BC. Over here it is illegal, too much other small animals, marsupials, goannas, stock etc.
Great video as always mate, I’ve always used paper on my traps, I’ll give it a go without paper next time, sorry to hear about Chocky as well, all the best mate 👍🇦🇺
So sorry to hear about Chocky .... Very Best to You and Yours from ChCh, NZ .... Thanks you So Much for your Very Informative and entertaining vidclips. Keep well and Stay safe ....
Thanks for another interesting video. Only a few hunting channels are of interest and yours is right up there as it’s amazing to watch how the trap sites are determined etc.
Top videos man, keep em coming. My 2 young blokes watch them with me in the evenings. Good work on those dogs and other nuisances. My wifes family from near Nundle saw the damage and suffering caused by these things first hand. Keep up the effort. We'll probably never be rid of them but every effort counts.
Good video mate. Hope you can catch them. Its always interesting watching different people set traps for wild dogs. Always learning different techniques to have up your sleeve. Thanks for sharing.
Sorry to hear about your loss, the art of being a successful dogger, it's a pleasure watching your videos you happily share what can only be described as a continuous improvement process. How to outsmart the dog without educating the dog.
Great vid mate ur attention to detail is the secret to catching them👍 Have recently had another shoulder op so have been bored out of my mind till I found ur channel so have subd an watched heaps of ur vids an pretty sure I recognised a bit of road up past Mt Carbine that I have driven many times? Lived and hunted up the cape for 30 odd yrs but down the sunny coast now an soooo miss my hunting, wood luv to bag a deer for the freezer but finding a property down here is problematic due to people doing the wrong thing an stuffing it for everyone 👎 Anyway stay safe budd an look forward to ur nxt vid🤙
I’m really sorry to hear about Chocky. I truly sympathise. I’ve watched these videos out of order so I know you get at least two of the offenders. My heart goes out to you both. You have some great looking dogs, do you breed them? I’ve always had border collies, best dogs on earth.Ps. I had trouble getting foxes with a box trap, a cocky told me to put it in the chook yard for a week with my gloves and chook food in it. After a week I put on the soiled gloves and baited the trap just outside the coop. Caught a fox the first night then washed the trap and repeated the process for months; worked every single time.
Been enjoying the trapping videos and watching your techniques and thoughts some are very similar to how I used to do it some are different but they work good job keep it up 👍👍👍👍
We night hunt for coyotes here in the U.S. and its possible that night hunting for these dogs could be equally as effective. Im not sure if thats an option over there but its very effective.

Not many dogs live a great life like Chocky did, he must’ve had such fun every day with you & he went out fighting.

old bushes I met years ago always wore gloves.
Sorry for the loss
I'm sorry for your loss. RIP Chicky.
This man,knows his critters
Sorry to hear about ya dog buddy, good luck with this round of traps.
It's hard when you lose a pup that you have had such a close relationship with for so many years. I'm sorry.
Your videos are awesome keep them up please
Do you make sure to leave a completed set in a slight depression? I was told the dogs don't like to step on a mound.
Yes you are doing a good job keep up the good work thanks
Great video.
RIP Choc
