Although poison is not my way of doing things,the property owners have other ideas,and it is strictly controlled.

As others have said,cats are a real problem,an easy way to get them is with a dog,the cat usually heads up the nearest tree,then it is easily shot.They haven't got anywhere near the stamina of a dog.

But we can't takes dogs out anymore due to the 1080,unless they are muzzled,and most dogs hate muzzles.
Agree with you bud 1080 ain't the best option but it's better than nothing.I have lost a very good dog to that stuff,it was a horrible way for such a good mate to go.Also i fully agree with Ausfree about the feral dog menace,the cost to farmers in a already tough industry is very hard for them to cop.
