Does australia really offer 120 $ for each dingo you catch or kill and how hard are they to catch

There have been Australian trappers post here though I haven't seen one in a while. You could contact the embassy for employment information.

For what it costs them to get real traps, that seems cheap to me...

So you have to work with embassy to trpa there is it hard to get employed

that $120 isnt Australia wide,there is some shires that offer a bounty that high,in the council shire i am in the bounty is $30 per scalp,many other shires do not have any bounty

in south Queensland shire there is $100 dollar bounty but to collect it the whole dog must be shown to a wildlife officer and confirmed by him.
in answer to your question they arent any harder too catch than your coyotes

The Dingo got ma baby,,The Dingo got ma baby !!!!!!

Darn good money to be made catching moles in Ireland.

(I'd pay darn good money to see anyone catch a mole in Ireland!)

Are those prices in US dollars or Australian dollars! You might check the exchange rate.

100 dollars in australia is about 80$ in america

120 may sound good but a new rifle that costs 500 here will likely run you a 1000 in AU anything gun or trap related seems to be double the price or more

there is a reason you see AU guys on gun forums talking about barreling guns they have rifles that have been in their families for a long time in old cartridges it seems it is less expensive to have a gun barreled than a new rifle imported and purchased

Sounds good if you could kill a bunch ofthem id bait them in and shoot them if i lived there

Wish australia could buy a bunch of .17 hmrs

Why , they are not shooting ground squirrels.

With the .17 hmr. you can certainly kill a Dingo at 100 yards. And carrying ammo is easy being its light.

Bait them and kill'em on the pile. More bait to add. Start in am, finish later afternoon. Load up the bodies and deliver.

Come back the next day, repeat. Just watch for snakes. Some of the largest and most deadly in the world.

Sure wish that my wife and I would have taken the deal to go live in Australia in 1970.

I wonder if you did go, if you can bring your own gun and traps from home? Maybe a load of 10 doz.MB550. And 2-3000 rounds of ammo?

Screw dingos I'm glad some parts of Down Under have declared war on feral cats. If only we could openly deal with free roaming cats that way here.

wait, you mean you don't?

you just don't talk about it but do it

ditch cougar

cats legally fall under "and any other unprotected species not listed" could also fall under invasive species but any other unprotected works they are the same as a pole cat

Better check on a lot of things before get on a plane or ship to head there to get rich. Traps have to be a padded jaw is my understanding. Guns have their own rules as well. Feral hogs to contend with as well as other vermin we haven't heard of let alone know how to contend with.

Do that here in New York and you'l find yourselfe in a heap of trouble.They are not listed as unprotected or invasive here.Maybe they have that listing in your state,,but not here.

I've hunted quite a bit in Australia over the years. I've met up with several professional dingo hunters operating on both private "stations" (ranches) and those that operate on public land in the State Forests . They call these guys "doggers," in NSW and Victoria where I bumped into them.

They do some shooting and they do some poison work. Very little use of traps for the guys I spoke with. They do a lot of snaring with some crappy gear! (See photo)

I was able to send one guy some better coyote snares from here in AK. He said he had a lot better luck than he did with the typical Aussie crap!

Here is a picture of a typical government dingo snare...
