[QUOTE="Silver Dog, post: 976460, member: 48303"] Hunterbob..... I have lived with all the different wildlife / livestock / human interactions for almost 70 years now and have not done research in an air-conditioned building on some university campus, but in the field, largely on my own property .... with a pair of binoculars, a camera, and a variety of rifles to keep some order in the troops.... In sheep country dingoes were an absolute no-no .... pigs flourished there and they were almost worse than dogs when big animals got amongst lambing ewes ... all you found was a bloody spot on the ground where the lamb was ... Where I am now in sugar cane and vegetable growing country there are no livestock. A couple of years ago a pair of dingoes raised 5 pups using a length of 18" poly pipe as their home ... this in the middle of a 10,000 acre very busy cane farm ... the ground around the front of their home was littered with the remains of pig and they hunted them almost exclusively. No, I don't know exactly what percentage of the overall population they accounted for ... there they were hunting for food, rather than the "thrill killing" that they do a brain-snap over when they get into a mob of sheep .... I know I shot 363 big pigs there in 3 years, and between us we kept the pig numbers to reasonable levels ... they were forever moving in from drier country, so no real end to it... However, I'm over this, I'm sorry I even started ... so you blokes do whatever it is that floats your boat ... it has very little bearing on the rest of us.... [/QUOTE]
