[QUOTE="madtuna, post: 557521, member: 44"] Unless they can get the cost of each unit down to under $100 they'll never become main stream unfortunately...even though anything that can take out feral cats is worth 10 times as much! Aerial baiting will be taking place across the gold fields from about the 5th until about the 23rd of July. I will update when we know what date we have locked in although ground baiting is on going. Dogs are thick at the moment and packing. What is worrying is what I saw today looked more like dogs having fun than hunting for food. 5 dogs had already brought down a cow and a young bull and were attacking a 3rd bull. We are not talking calves but good sized and capable micky bulls. They were not scared of me at all and 1 of them I shot as it full on charged at me. 2 I shot while they were ripping into a cow and the last 2 decided about then that it was probably not a good idea to hang around. The cow and the bull they had brought down, were alive but with ears mangled or completely gone and severely savaged arse ends. Both were put down. The 3rd 1 was okay thankfully. [/QUOTE]
