    Great work! Nice trophies, and nice venison for the freezer. Sambar deer are a feral pest in Australia, very damaging to the environment. There will be many farmers and public land management people happy with the work you are doing. 👍

    Wide spread DNA testing dates the Dingo back to 3,750 years ago. Thylacine’s disappeared from the mainland only 3,000 years ago, you do the maths. Dingoes never made it to Tassy so Thylacine’s demise is all on us there. Dingoes are responsible for many extinctions before we got here, now it's time for them to go imo.

  • @johnmead8437
    @johnmead8437Ай бұрын

    Quite possible the increase in domestic dog genes are making them more effective predators. There is the question whether the disappearance of feral dogs would enable other pests to thrive more. The level of predation and importantly, the effect on the prey population would need establishing (a dingo killing a deer/cat/numbat/thylacine isn't necessarily a problem for that species populaion (it is for the victim). Some populations can handle predation, others not, extinction being the extreme result. Whether dingo absence would enable other predators &/or competitors (deer etc) that are possibly worse thrive, maybe cats, foxes, pigs, may be cause to protect some dingoes. The feeling they are just another problem predator is hard to pass up though. It's suspected they get a lot of young pigs in many seasons from watching YT hunting, which isn't very scientific.

  • @warrensmith8258
    @warrensmith8258Ай бұрын

    Thats normal mate. Some deer will all but jump into your lap while others will completely ignore. Blind calling is very hit and miss but where it really shines is when you spook a deer and its heading off but not really sure what you are. i have my caller on a lanyard on my pack and i give a blast and most times they will stop. Not always able to see them tho.

    Should be getting rid of the bloody deer and leaving the Dingoes to clean up the foxes and other ferals. Are you aware of the various coat colours for pure Dingoes? White with large black, tan or brindle patches. Brindle, various blacks with white, tan or both or full black. Sable, Alsatian colour, pure white. These have all been found through genetic and DNA testing using the most updated technology available. Previously it was believed a variation in coat colour from the typical yellow was a sighn of hybridisation. Only 54% of tested pure Dingoes was yellow. Cheers.

    @warrensmith82582 ай бұрын

    I have a lone wolf alpha ,imported from the states and lone wolf sticks. I usually set up over a sambar wallow but in this case i just set up where i could see where i knew fallow would pass thru. Usually stalk in the morning and use previous scouting to pick a place to set up stand for evening hunt. Join FB group tree stand hunting (Australia) or Sambar Deer only.
