well i have finally done it! after many failed stalking attempts and a bad shot at another dog i finally nailed a dingo.
a mate and i ducked up the gulf for a couple of days of hunting. hunting was really hard as most of the game was along the river. the river has about 15m from the water line of huntable country the rest is just impenatrable rubber vine. saw a few hogs on the 1st day but they were all just to toey. i managed to shoot 1 on our way back from camp, just a young boar but it sorta made the 18k's walked worth while. i lost a nice boar in the thick rubber vine during the heat of the day but couldnt locate him in the rubber vine. we got a storm wendsday night that soaked our gear so we made thursday our final day. we went and checked some dams out in theblack soil country. i saw this dingo and his mate attempting to pull down a new born calf. his mate saw me and did a runner but unfortunatley for this bloke he only had eyes for the young calf which made the stalk rather easy. i took the shot latter ranged @ 30m while he was sitting under a tree. it took him through the back passig through his chest. tusker spirit did its job and the dog was on a dead run from the start. he managed 50m, blood pouring from his chest and mouth. he wasnt the biggest dog but i am still on a high. i think cause i witnessed wat they do to live stock 1st hand and the fact i saved the calf made it all the more sweet. cheers Lachlan
