Hunting needs to be allowed on public land in Queensland. Pigs are running rampant in public land and branching out from there because of the ban.

The wild pigs living in Cape York's rainforests are called Papuan hogs (Sus scrofa papuensis) and are native to Australia as they migrated or were introduced thousands of years ago. Papuan hogs and agile wallabies are now overpopulated in Cape York because dingoes are persecuted and very heavily.

I spent 4 hours stuck up tree from going for a bush walk. 6 huge wild pigs chased me out of nowhere. I was up the first tree I could get up. They were circling that tree smashing into it for hours.

They forgot to mention the upside of razorbacks being in Australia: The continent's crocodiles are virtually thriving and reproducing well in the wild.

So here's what you do. Set up some feeders with fermented corn. The hogs eat the fermented corn, get drunk, and then when you shoot them, they're too hammered to run away. Entire sounder wiped out vs 2 or 3 out of a sounder of 40. They'll be critically endangered in the wild within a year.

Geoff Zuo Native dingoes in the purebred form are almost extinct on the mainland , it is thought that the ones on Fraser Island are still pure , on the main land almost all are cross breed with domestic dogs, the pigs would out number them1000 to 1

The possible way to prevent Wild pigs from going into areas to destroy crops . Is perhaps to build a wall fifty feet high all around the crop area. Plus : fifty feet deep . So if these pigs want to dig they will have to dig deep . Then at the bottom put sharp ( PUNGY STICKS ) .

The pigs living in Cape York's rainforests are called Papuan hogs (Sus scrofa papuensis) and are very likely native to Australia as well as Torres Strait. The ONLY solution is predators. Dingoes need full legal protection and Komodo dragons need to be reintroduced. Komodo dragons are native to Australia, dying out after modern humans hunted all their prey to extinction. Camels, water buffaloes, scrub cattle, bantengs, brumbies, deer, scrub donkeys, Captain Cookers, and feral goats (feral goats have to go as they're causing extinctions) are perfect substitutes for the Komodo dragon's old prey as water buffaloes and wild horses are introduced to Komodo National Park and deer and wild boar live there too. No human strategy will ever work, it's like trying to learn something without putting in the time, you literally have to live and breathe this stuff for it to, which dingoes and Komodo dragons thankfully do.

What you need is a combination of traps and active hunting (ideally with trained dogs)... traps work only on stupid ones, if a smart sow sees a trap in action once, she will avoid it for the rest of her life and she will teach her piglets do the same. You have to hunt her down.

That's where animals outlive humans in a big space of land.

Wild/Feral canines like dingoes(brought to Australia by people), have wreaked havoc on native Australian wildlife. Driving to extinction animals like the thylacine and Tasmanian Devil on mainland Australia. And wiping out many other native species in the process. Hell...house cats and foxes, have destroyed many native Australian species. Could you imagine what even bigger, more efficient mammalian predators like big cats, wolves, hyenas, or bears, would do to the continent? In a few hundred years...there would be no native Australian species left, that are larger than wombats. Native species would be EASY prey for these types of predators. And predators go after the easy prey first, then they'd take out more difficult prey(like pigs).

And you can't count modern times, where tigers and other large carnivores, have been persecuted and driven to extinction in many places by people. If you go back as recently as the beginning of the 20th century(1900), there were over 100,000 wild tigers in the world. Today, there are less than 3,000. And if you go back couple hundred years, tigers spanned all the way across Asia, from China and Russia in the East, to the Middle East in the West. That's a lot of jibber jabber, for me to say that in a soft habitat(compared to their native land) like Australia, tigers would thrive. And without other large predators and herbivores to threaten them and their offspring, their offspring would have a high survival rate. Hell dingoes arrived on the continent, quickly established themselves as the top land predator, and ran rampant. Imagine what tigers, or other big cats would do.
