Bilbo Baggins Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 GSD's your photos are awsome. ;) It is definiatly a challenge. No worries Lovey. Glad if they help out. Better than trying to constantly pull up a "visual" in your own mind & trying to describe it to other people. You can shoot them off to other people or send them a link to the thread. I hope you didn't trek through that first paddock in your usual thongs Darl. There's all sorts of "nasties" underfoot. I meant footwear Lovey, not underwear. :D Stirrer. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Shepherd~ Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Just got through to the DPI, lovely helpful lady rang some dog catchers out in the country areas. He said council will most likely shoot it if they cant get it and dont have a trap. THeir country catchers dont do the suburbs and cant hire traps. She told me to contact RSPCA and pray that my council will lend me theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Are You Serious Jo Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I don't think you'll have much hope rounding him up with people he'd just shoot out any gap and be gone. Trap seem the best way, bait and secured for two nights, then third night set. Surely someone had a trap, really the only way to catch him. Good luck guys, and good job!

CBL Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Have you thought about contacting the biology departments in any of the Victorian Uni's (or maybe the museum). The traps we used at uni for native wildlife would probably not be big enough for this boy but they might have something larger??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Shepherd~ Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Thanks B and S. Why is it so hard On a brighter note, our last rehab rescue was rehomed today ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekhbet Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 http://www.animalcontrol.com.au/default.htm these people might know of a trap to borrow sounds a bit harsh but how about some lumps of meat with ACP tablets shoved in there. If someone is willing to camp out and keep an eye on him, leave the lumps in his kennel and grab him when he drops. Works fairly quickly The zoos have blow dart guns but you have to be fairly close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is going to try and lure him with a special bait and win his trust, then if that doesnt work use a soft dog paw trap. (need to investigate but humane) he has all the right equipment. Need full details or someone to show him where he is located tomorrow.
