Thread: Big Feral Dog

And a pup?

The trouble with these buggers is all you ever see usually are prints and wounded/dead stock.
I was called upon by my neighbour to shoot a huge pit bull that had killed a dozen or so lambs a couple of years ago that he had tied up to a fence.
It was gone when we got back there But as it wasn't feral it didn't have the "Smarts" so we eventually found it, It's a different story with wild dogs though.

The pooch dropped its multitool, too.

No pockets....

Might be cat tracks. They were a bit older before the last downpour.

Yes, they sneak around at night too.
about 10 yrs ago we had one around here. I built a dog trap and eventually got him . A big Bull Mastiff.
I will set the trap again and see what happens. By the size of the print it could be another.

Silver slugs I hope. That one's a werewolf.

Western Queensland graziers are permitted to shoot any stray dog on their properties. And they do too.
