But who is repsonsible for the dog and its behaviour?

True.
But cant shoot them.

However, I know what I will do , its just getting them in the trap thats the hard part.
just thought someone might have a surefire recipe for an attractant.

That is what they do in Western Qld.

If there are a few dog attacks in an area,the local land owners all put in a few $,and they use a guy from town.

He gives a bitch a shot that brings her on heat,then sets the traps where she is caged.

Catches them every time

Many of these wild dogs are very smart and difficult to shoot.

well the female variety is the undoing of many of us![wink11]

Yeah I reckon it's your trap some animals just won't go in them you could light a fire behind them and they still won't!
Dobermans however it's bloody spelt are a smart breed they use their brain unlike my wolfy x who just uses her nose she will follow a scent off a cliff.
It probably knows it's a trap and can smell your scent on it maybe get a block of lard and rub it down. Good old claw trap tricks.

Even try a claw trap with a BOOT before everyone freaks out saying it's illegal. Make sure you lard it also.

Also if its a pet it might not be hungry enough to care. It's in the breed to just bail or attack people probs a piggin dog like someone else said.

One problem with that. This is a domestic dog, a bitch on heat will attract every complete dog in the area. You'll need a lot of traps.

I rang the copper in a town 30 k`s away and was informed i could legally shoot said dog`s if i caught them on my property .

Guess what happened to those dog`s:rocket:

They were never a problem again on this earth :2up:

Similar situation out our way, neighbours on two sides had lambs mauled. The dogs were identified and traced to the owner who was very apologetic apparently but the council destroyed the dogs and the woman (owner) charged $1100 for the trouble.

We still get the odd dog or pack of dogs stirring up the horses, cattle and sheep in the valley. Gave up on chooks years ago was just to heart breaking to come home seeing the things ripped apart.

I have no idea if this still applies but when I lived in Western Queensland farmers/graziers were entitled to shoot any stray dogs on their property. And they did too. Would your 5 acres fall into this classification? Put a polite notice on your gates that any stray dogs on this property will be shot on sight.

In most rural areas you are not only allowed to shoot wild/stray dogs you are also obliged to.
