Everyone,

I would like to know if it is possible to call wolves in and what techneques do you use. The reason why I am asking is that I hunt wild dogs in Australia (called dingos) by howling them up with a cow horn making the howls with my voice through the horn as an amplifier.

I would like to know what is used to call wolves as dingos howl much like them

I was under the impression that dingos are totally protected and that its illegal to hunt them? I recently contacted people in dingo country to discuss business and they said its totally illegal?? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif

For your information, it is legal to shoot wild dogs (dingos) in Australia as long as they are not within a National Park and/or are not genetically pure such as those found on Frazer Island off the Coast of Australia, which are completely isolated and happens to be a national Park as well.

Scientific research carried out by Govt. Agencies here including the CSIRO and National Parks Service, who are testing dogs at this time, show that the dogs within the areas I shoot, as with all areas tested are genetically corrupted with interbreading with feral domestic dogs. This has occured all over the mainland of Australia.

I am required to abide by a number of regulations including the Firearms Act, Game Conservation Act, Prevention to Cruelty to Animals Act, to be able to enjoy my sport here. I also have a restricted licence to shoot wild dogs in State Forests and have worked in consultation with the rural lands protection agency in relation to wild dog control.

The dogs I shoot and trap are all stock killers and take a high toll on our native fawna. They are classified as feral animals and pose a great risk to endangered animals including a number of species of Rock Wallabies.

I can assure you that ALL of my shooting is ethical and legal. You can pass this information on to anyone with concerns.

I thought I saw a documentary a few years back sbout the dingo fence and saw a few dead ones hanging from it. Seems to me at the time of the film they were not protected per the filmmaker.

Nice to see some different regions on here.
 
Redfrog called a wolf last year using wolf howls (wolf howler made by BradH ) and some deer distress/fawn bawl on a Tommy Johnson call. At least i think I have the facts straight.
 
Thats correct Ceider the dingo fence runs between the states of New South Wales and Queensland for over a thousand kilometers, I beleive they still employ at least 1 trapper. I haven't been through the fence for a number of years.

It use to be a traditon that if you shot a wild dog then you either hung it on a fence or in a tree for the property owner to see, this verified the good work you were doing for him and always garanteed he would welcome you back. There use to be a bounty of 3 pounds on dingos many years ago when a weeks wage was about 1 pound for farming type employment

There are a number of other doco's about the problems wild dog cause here. In the Kosiosko National Park down south (in sheep Country) they come out and kill many hundreds of sheep yearly, I have seen up to 30 sheep killed and injured in one night in the same paddock. The Govt use to aerial bait in the National Parks,however they stopped it a few years ago and the farmers have been loosing the fight against the dogs ever since. In my area they still aerial bait with 1080 poison to try and control the problem, all it seems to do is kill young dogs and move the others on. The main killing dogs I don't think get caught, if they don't get a good dose or if the bait is old and they can throw it back up, they don't forget the smell.

Thanks Crapshoot Redfrog has sent me a message

i have called wolves in here in Wisconsin sometimes they answer a coyote howl which I think they are telling the coyote it better shut-up because the real coyotes do shut-up but I don't and the wolves came in one time. A few other times I have had them come to fawn in distress calls.
 
Here in Alaska I have found Cayote howls bring them in, as do fawn bleats in the spring. Wolf howls also work. The problem here is that they learn fast and they will not come again once they have been shot at, and we always have to be on the lookout for something else (Bears) answering the call. A rabbit squel will just send them packing. We shoot wolves reguler here so they are all pretty much educated. Most of what comes to calls are the young and stupid ones.

Now you have my curiosity, what is the "Firearms Act, Game Conservation Act, Prevention to Cruelty to Animals Act". I can draw somewhat of a conclusion however I would like to know a little bit more especially the prevention to cruelty to animals act.
