Snapper is off the menu over here in South Australia, there's a state wide ban on snapper for recreational and pro fishermen. They say that the species is on the verge of collapse here. Just shows the rape of the ocean here

They’re a fishing drone and I can’t find a video anywhere for them. Tempted to buy, but I wanna know they’re good first. There is a shop in Nelson that sells them, maybe they’ll shout/lend you one for a good detailed review? Anyway, good to meet you mate, happy hunting and fishing 👍

hey clay i was wondering how you make your dogs cast out long range to finding pigs and teaching what a pig smells like?

@ClayTallStories

4 жыл бұрын

two good question Teina. Range and going on the find has a lot to do with the work ethic already bred into the dog. Thats why I favour working dogs like Po who have heading dog, Hunt-awayX beardie etc. They work hard cast out further on the find. If your dog is not going out then you need to start pairing it up with a dog that does. Sustain from whistling your dog in when it is on the find if you can help it. All my pups get the fress pig skin to track at home as soon as they can walk ad there is always a reward once they find the skin. They learn very early what the target species smells like. I also do all the basic training that many pig hunter ignor because I like to keep my dogs under control as best I can. Drag a fresh pig skin around the ground from your latest kill and hide it in the bush somewhere and let the pups track the scent to it. Give the pup lots of praise and a treat when it finds the skin. If you are starting off fresh with just pups then you need a main dogs to train your pups off. I always have a pup in the making as pig dogs don't live for ever.

Just got back from Raglan after fishing all day. Had to cut it short cause the weather was so bad but on the way back to hamilton I hit a duck at 80km. Heads Munted but the body seems good enough for tea. First time duck cook any GB have any duck cooking tips ?
