But national regional reporter Clint Jasper found some locals in a pocket of Victoria who are fighting back.

The Feral Pig problem is very very bad in QLD around the Macadamia orchards in particular, trapping works initially but they work it out pretty quickly.
Like new Zealand the thing missing here is venison pies in a red wine sauce.
My parents now have wild deer regularly on their property on the edge of Launceston. The problem is, hunters were given strict quotas to allow deer population growth when they were introduced. That still applies, even though the feral numbers are exploding and the number of hunters has dropped off a lot in recent decades.
What do you expect given that hunters have been demonised to the point that there are not enough left to keep the feral animal populations under control.
The notion these creatures are sweet and harmless, built up by countless hollywood movies has to be addressed by raw damage images so we can come to the realisation they have to be removed. Great production on this segment ABC.
Pig Brig is very popular in the United States I am surprised it is not used in Australia as a pig trap the science behind it is amazing.
Agree. The Pig Brig design allows the trap to continue working even when pigs are caught and it does not have to monitored (remotely) and triggered to close, unlike the trap door approach shown here. So effective and working whilst you sleep 🙂
Foxes, hares, pigs and goats are huge feral issues (not to mention feral dogs & cats) in western NSW, trouble is, nothing gets done until the populations are way out of control and severe damage is caused. You do the right thing and report to LLS, NSW Parkes and local councils and sweet FA is done.🤔
At least DPI allow hunting in state forests
Cant do that in QLD
Just let hunters in. And change laws so the meat can be processed
That would ruin their industry of being pathetic complainers about problems they won't address.
Thats what they should do your right mate but will they do this
You can't beat a bit of venison & you have it on tap.
Need the same initiative for feral horses in the Snowies.
So the Deers make their way to the plate, but how are they disposing of the pigs?
Delicious.. we have just had organic free range venison for boxing day dinner
A dear hunter named Roe !!!
You thinking of Doe? Roe is fish eggs.
Bravo!
Tricks and traps
It would be a good little project for Duntroon to observe i think In outsmarting a animal with an fair degree of intelligence in how it survives and what works, why it works how to improvise and integrate in way they can understand
Just have a look at the program in the USA way that millions of feral Hogs are trapped, - and the scale of damage is done to farmland and crops. So, let's start that here in Australia before the wild bores take over our farms.
What do they do with the pigs once they trap them? Are they sold to someone else? Does it become a luau situation immediately after?
Harvesting individual animals for select restaurants I can’t see impacting wild animal numbers. Given the flighty nature of Deer, it’s not like culling mobs of kangaroos. Most hunters will see the logic being illogical.
It is a good thing the Australians did not import grizzly bears, tigers and lions a 150 years ago.
The tigers would have controlled the camel population.
Drones are your answer to solving the feral cats and foxes and deer, pig's. It's modifying the drones to identify, like facial recognition and night vision, heat sensors and the drones can eliminate the pest species.
😂Lol, wrong if they live in %40 of Vic then it's Vic's problem. WOW all in the first 30seconds
So you are harvesting. So you must be making money on this harvesting. What a life. You are ranching with out much work.
Yep, too many deer in the UK, causing forest damage & road havoc. Another species that’s out of control.
Hunters wont try to elimate any ferals cause they wont have nothing to hunt in their area. I have known people to let pigs go in areas closer to where they live so they dont have to travel as far to hunt ...go figure.
This is nothing new. Trapping hogs has been done this way in the US for many years.
Its certainly not new in Australia either mate.
Dingoes and livestock guardian donkeys for those dingoes. If the piglets are striped, it means they're native Papuan hogs, like those in the Wet Tropics.
animals are native to planet earth
The government makes money from the deer's, the farmer pays feeding them
Money is money right,
Why did the government let deer in for hunting ...and then we say its an alarming rate at which they are spreading ?
We had rabbits and foxes and cats ...so who doesnt know the risks of introducing a new animal ?
Why does so much of ABCs content just seem like and ad for someones business.
😢
ABC lol
