Title: An aussie mission - more photos Post by: aussie black mouth curs on August 07, 2011, 08:50:55 pm G'day fellas,
thought that I would post a few photos from our trip last weekend. Every year a few mates and I get together and have a good time. This year we went to a new property that was 11 hours drive west of here. It was quite remote and 2 hours west of Bourke in NSW. There are no towns or facilities whatsoever, except one pub 100km away. The pigs were a little down on numbers, as the swamps had dried out from earlier in the year. Still we got 40 pigs for the 3 days and some reasonable sized ones (no real big ones, not enough food for them out there). Most of the pigs had never seen a quad bike, we had about 6 charge the bikes. We had 7 dogs and caught all the pigs with dogs, no shooting this time. One bitch got injured on its first pig and one other is just a pet. So the 5 remaining dogs did well. I hope you enjoy the photos. Any questions please ask. PS I pick up the BMC's from quarantine this saturday. cheers Troy (http://i901.photobucket.com/albums/ac216/team_mange/Mangefest%202011%20Louth/full_mange_crew.jpg) (http://i901.photobucket.com/albums/ac216/team_mange/Mangefest%202011%20Louth/mangeshirt.jpg) (http://i901.photobucket.com/albums/ac216/team_mange/Mangefest%202011%20Louth/georgies_boar_closeup.jpg) Title: Re: An aussie mission Post by: aussie black mouth curs on August 07, 2011, 08:52:47 pm more photos...

What type of dogs were you running on this hunt? Title: Re: An aussie mission Post by: aussie black mouth curs on August 07, 2011, 09:02:57 pm Paul,
thanks, a variety of dogs, but more leaning towards baydogs that catch on command these days - less injuries. Breed is not really important. All of the dogs were catching pigs on their own. Caught a couple with the quads as well. Troy Title: Re: Re: An aussie mission Post by: J.Prince on August 07, 2011, 09:11:46 pm Great photos sounds like a good time.

Title: Re: An aussie mission - more photos Post by: T.Angel on August 09, 2011, 05:31:56 pm Good deal, nice pics and good looking dogs, I cant wait to visit that country one day
Title: Re: An aussie mission - more photos Post by: TColt on August 10, 2011, 10:18:52 pm Nice hunt! I really like that leggy white and brindle dog in the last set of photos, what kind of dog is that, is he strait catch or bay?
I got to get out there one of these days... soon! I might need to talk to you about coming down for a visit, I can fly out there whenever for free ;D Title: Re: An aussie mission - more photos Post by: aussie black mouth curs on August 10, 2011, 11:57:22 pm sure mate.....any chance we could trade a whitetail hunt?? pm me
the brinlde and white female is owned by a mate but bred by me, shes a mix of breeds, from standard, everyday aussie pig dogs, shes 10 but still finds them ok, she is all catch, never seen her bay. She has a great nature like her mother. cheers T Title: Re: An aussie mission - more photos Post by: TColt on August 11, 2011, 09:18:59 am I ain't much of a deer hunter but I could line somethin up I'm sure. I'll keep my eye open for something good. Big trophy whitetail are expensive but I got some low fence places that got some good trophies on them.
