Hunting needs to be allowed on public land in Queensland. Pigs are running rampant in public land and branching out from there because of the ban.
And I'm not sure if it's the same there as in the States,,but there's many deer hunters that pay the ranchers in Texas a whopper of amount to hunt deer and the hunters want to get a couple hogs too until the rancher ask an enormous "trophy" fee.,....
Unfortunately recreational hunters seldom provide any useful control, but often cause pests to be wary and more difficult for competent hunters to destroy.
Where hunting is very easy this is less of a problem, but as this video explains, given teh chance many foster or dispense/distribute pests, so not helpful.
These pigs are not native species... The way they mulplied into millions is a serious concern to the Australias indigenous species and forest
same goes for australians
@@kivouhsdelinski5311 way to make a pointless comment Champ.
@@kivouhsdelinski5311 The culture of Australia's Aboriginal people is one of the oldest in the world, Aboriginal Australian Culture dates back more than 60,000 years
You couldn't add anything but repeat what's already been said
The wild pigs living in Cape York's rainforests are called Papuan hogs (Sus scrofa papuensis) and are native to Australia as they migrated or were introduced thousands of years ago. Papuan hogs and agile wallabies are now overpopulated in Cape York because dingoes are persecuted and very heavily.
It’s so easy to release a species but so incredibly hard to remove it. Especially when it comes to a whole continent
Farmers are screaming and crying about feral pigs wrecking property asking the government for help and handouts,but they refuse to let insured hunters on to shoot?
why is there no public land hunting in QLD? i feel for any farmer who borders a state or national forest.
There is up the top of qld
I spent 4 hours stuck up tree from going for a bush walk. 6 huge wild pigs chased me out of nowhere. I was up the first tree I could get up. They were circling that tree smashing into it for hours. I've no doubt they would of at the least seriously hurt me and that would of left me dead. Probably would of eaten half of me. Harvey region WA. LET THEM ALL BECOME SPAM in a CAN!!!!
Feed these wild pigs a food they love with loads of deadly toxic deadly poison . This might kill them off.
It always blows my mind when invasive species overtake an ecosystem and yet people go to bed every night with empty bellies.
And nearly EVERY invasive species...was introduced by humans at some point.
Why are you joining two unrelated problems?
@@tonyromano6220 because the vast majority of these creatures are edible....
So who's stopping the hungry people from eating the pigs?
@@michaelrose93 lack of awareness, ambition, knowledge. Fear of hunting ? No weapons or trapping knowledge ?
So here's what you do. Set up some feeders with fermented corn. The hogs eat the fermented corn, get drunk, and then when you shoot them, they're too hammered to run away. Entire sounder wiped out vs 2 or 3 out of a sounder of 40. They'll be critically endangered in the wild within a year.
This is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
But surprisingly effective, this technique has been in use since a long time,
I'm from Kerala ,India , I came across a story about a voracious wild hog which was hard to shoot and was killed only after it got drunk with wash( the fermented fruit water which is distilled to make vodka )
Love my pig hunting with dogs,
Been doing it since I was a young fella 💪🏽👍🏽
They forgot to mention the upside of razorbacks being in Australia: The continent's crocodiles are virtually thriving and reproducing well in the wild.
I'd love to help in the eradication of this pest. Go farmers...
197kg boar? you gotta be kidding me right?
Mate I'm a professional pig hunter with hounds, an I tell U right now, I've gotten some monsters, biggest one I've gotten went 187kg an that was with just 2 dogs an myself
Its true as long it has food and water and grow older they can even farm pigs
A wild boar can kill a man, and have!
My grandad shot one here in texas. 680 pounds. 308 kg. They are insane.
Don't native dingo hunt wild pigs? I'm not talking about the feral dogs, I'm talking about the native apex predator for the last 4000 years in Australia
Dingo aren't much different than coyotes in the USA and neither will attempt to take down a large feral hog. They will kill the piglets but it isn't enough to dent the pig population
They do hunt them sometimes, I just don’t know if they’re doing it enough to make a real dent in their numbers. I think a large portion of the dingo population is cut off by a fence too?
Geoff Zuo Native dingoes in the purebred form are almost extinct on the mainland , it is thought that the ones on Fraser Island are still pure , on the main land almost all are cross breed with domestic dogs, the pigs would out number them1000 to 1
Humans sorting problems caused by humans
Yes, it’s our responsibility to exterminate this exotic fauna to protect the indigenous fauna.
@@VincitOmniaVeritas7 its also for OUR livelihood.
Maxine Babas right on
its simple the farm THAT GROW CROPS NEED DINGO
Dingo won't touch a healthy pig. The pig will tear it apart and eat it.
They need traps like the ones being used in Louisiana and Texas. Catch the whole sounder and then shoot in the trap. In US, they’re edible. Fill a lot of freezers. With the cost of food going up ...
Komodo dragons could do the job and they're native.
After The Great Emu War , now comes the Feral Pigs War
The pigs living in Cape York's rainforests are called Papuan hogs (Sus scrofa papuensis) and are very likely native to Australia as well as Torres Strait. The ONLY solution is predators. Dingoes need full legal protection and Komodo dragons need to be reintroduced. Komodo dragons are native to Australia, dying out after modern humans hunted all their prey to extinction. Camels, water buffaloes, scrub cattle, bantengs, brumbies, deer, scrub donkeys, Captain Cookers, and feral goats (feral goats have to go as they're causing extinctions) are perfect substitutes for the Komodo dragon's old prey as water buffaloes and wild horses are introduced to Komodo National Park and deer and wild boar live there too. No human strategy will ever work, it's like trying to learn something without putting in the time, you literally have to live and breathe this stuff for it to, which dingoes and Komodo dragons thankfully do.
Put Filipinos there, those pigs are a favorite food that we love to eat all year round.
Wild pigs are different than the domestic ones some of the wild pigs carry diseases.
@@lionelstarkweather6996 oh yes, wild pigs are different than the domesticated ones. That's why it is much more expensive here in our country coz of the meat is less fat, that's why we prefer to eat the wild one's.
@@troycasinillo448 I see
@@lionelstarkweather6996 HAHAHAHAHA its alright we still eat them 😂
@@lionelstarkweather6996 If you cook them with high temperature, there won't be problem.
Due to Woolies and Coles cranking up those prices for record profits, I decided to build a raised garden just to feed myself. I made it as pig proof as I could but it was overrun and destroyed. Owning a gun is too much of a hassle in Australia. After 2 burglaries, 2 home invasions and now pigs destroying my property.. It might be time for me to leave Australia.
We used to use phosphorus years ago that will sort this out period ,They actually improve the soil with their saliva .
interesting how the people crying about da poor brumbies are silent about pigs
Animal exists
Australia - yea they are feral here
These pigs are not native and have a population in the tens of millions. They destroy native flora, take food away and can be aggressive and violent toward native animals. Australia has a big issue with invasive species and it's just gonna keep getting worse unfortunately.
Bruh
The flies... OMG, they are shooing them from their faces in this video and a few others from AU that I have seen.
Informative in many ways especially determining that it is people that can make a positive impact, however people's behaviour is influenced when the all mighty dollar is involved , regrettably. Short sightedness without understanding the bigger picture- it's all too typical. So, no bounties it is !
I think you know to import workers from Thailand, burma, cambodia and laos. Those feral pigs are going to disappear very quickly.
The possible way to prevent Wild pigs from going into areas to destroy crops . Is perhaps to build a wall fifty feet high all around the crop area. Plus : fifty feet deep . So if these pigs want to dig they will have to dig deep . Then at the bottom put sharp ( PUNGY STICKS ) .
6:36 The pig walked in the shape of a pig face
Question : can they be consumed by human beings? Cuz in my country we can eat it. Please kindly commercialised them. Or use electric fence to protect your crops.
Alot of them carry a disease that makes them inedible
Fencing is expensive.
@@HardstylePete ok so this the only i guess!
Yes they can be but only if there usually from the high country where there healthier and pigs are quiet smart animals and electric fences would only work for some time. Wild pigs can dig with snouts
@@balsdepinumum3534 I live in the high country ,pigs here still have Lepto and when your friend contracts it from only hunting them and not eating them, ie ,just from cutting up for dog food it’s not pretty. Do not eat.
But the pigs are edible..🤷
"but the environmental damage hurts more"
Thanx
If that pigs live here in the philippines they are definitely became lechon and other pig cuisine, some hunters here needs to stay at the wild or jungle for days before getting one of that, they are expensive meat.
USA Have feral hogs problems too
If its feral, it doesn't belong here.
Soooo if it fits in the pigs mouth it eats 😰😰😰
Yes
it's a big meal to crocodiles , dingoes and even snakes
Hi I am SSAA farmer assist but have had no pig or deer shooting jobs y
Same here. I’ve asked around a lot. Signed up with everything on offer. But never been contacted. Just me and my dad wanting to go on a few hunts and help some farmers out, but all I’ve seen is them asking for $500 to hunt on their land. Nope no chance. Enjoy the pigs.
Invite people on Facebook or something. There are plenty of hunters eager to hunt on land for free.
Remember tho you can’t have your cake and eat it so don’t charge them a fee
My guess is local governments are not taking this matter seriously enough, that's why the problem persist
1:40
so like what are the dangers on eating these wild pigs? I mean diseases or parasites and such.
Mighty ducks
Ha you spot that too...knuclepuck time!
Pork must be cheap in Australia
Make it an industry. Open season on hog hunts. Use the profits towards more feral control via traps.
That's where animals outlive humans in a big space of land.
It’s not hard to watch just like killing problem rats 🐀. Until you see the destruction and loss they create for farmers then you want them all gone
did you let them out of the trap? if so why?
I feel like the biggest problem are the flies and then the pigs
I haven't seen any wild feral hogs in michigan.
Feral means wild bud.
uses dingo
Dingoes are an invasive/feral species as well lol.....
What you need is a combination of traps and active hunting (ideally with trained dogs)... traps work only on stupid ones, if a smart sow sees a trap in action once, she will avoid it for the rest of her life and she will teach her piglets do the same. You have to hunt her down.
1:24 is that farmed or feral because I live in Brisbane, no feral pigs here
Feral.
A bit odd that the map shows feral pigs in metro melbourne...
Just get out of Brisbane in the country and u will see them.
@@melpeddle7243 but the map showed there is pigs there
All invasive species love Australia.
Do a fox one
In pakistan we have a large community of hunters. Who will be happy to hunt these ferel animals. U just need to ease visa processing for hunters and provide transportation to theses spots.
Easy way fir migration?
We've hunters here already but the government won't let us hunt them on public land
i seriously doubt australias gun laws because that is a very easy way to kill lots of boar
FREEEE BAACCONN
i have a pet boar im a aussie qld
Well make Wild hog meat market. Hunt it dawn with no limits.
you need some Filipinos in there. They'll make a very good Lechon. Hahaha
Get some mini guns
It’s not hard to watch or out of line…
Australia, you lost the war against emus and now ferals..you have to level up your war game 😂
becaue they kill dingo
More like the cane toad
Just Pay people. I'd hunt for a while.
thems good eating. my moth is watering watching this. id open up a bbq joint for those. robbers roast and smoked wild pig ... whats there not to love?
Where’s all the black fellas ?
There's an elder quoted there at 0.52, but doesn't reappear in the story.
HOG WASH
What if the government was to hire 1000 full time hunters to eradicate wild pigs and rabbits over the next 5 years. That should make an impact.
Or at least this could be good training for our soldier Riflemen.
Yea but putting a bounty on pigs increases the population because people illegally introduce more pig around Australia to make a profit off of hunting them
@@motleycat5030 he didn't say put a bounty for regular people to profit from. Use the army.
@@EcuadorianFlagShip Thats kinda smart actually not gonna lie.
No get off,Just open up the public land so the public can hunt on it!,Why should it only be allowed for the defence personal only?!
These wild piggies are a good source of food, you don´t have to kill them all but population control is necessary is your smart about it.
If you lived here you’d know
all australia has to do is release a predator like wolf, tiger, jaguar, leopard or a lion that could even out the ecological impact
Maybe the feral cat will become as big as their big cousins and take care of them
Wild/Feral canines like dingoes(brought to Australia by people), have wreaked havoc on native Australian wildlife. Driving to extinction animals like the thylacine and Tasmanian Devil on mainland Australia. And wiping out many other native species in the process. Hell...house cats and foxes, have destroyed many native Australian species.
Could you imagine what even bigger, more efficient mammalian predators like big cats, wolves, hyenas, or bears, would do to the continent? In a few hundred years...there would be no native Australian species left, that are larger than wombats. Native species would be EASY prey for these types of predators. And predators go after the easy prey first, then they'd take out more difficult prey(like pigs).
@@Ispeakthetruthify Well thats a good and well thought argument, but the thing with tigers is, is that they don't reproduce that often.
@@DB-jj8qn Tigers reproduce well enough to have HUGE impact on a place like Australia. And you can't count modern times, where tigers and other large carnivores, have been persecuted and driven to extinction in many places by people. If you go back as recently as the beginning of the 20th century(1900), there were over 100,000 wild tigers in the world. Today, there are less than 3,000. And if you go back couple hundred years, tigers spanned all the way across Asia, from China and Russia in the East, to the Middle East in the West.
That's a lot of jibber jabber, for me to say that in a soft habitat(compared to their native land) like Australia, tigers would thrive. And without other large predators and herbivores to threaten them and their offspring, their offspring would have a high survival rate. Hell dingoes arrived on the continent, quickly established themselves as the top land predator, and ran rampant. Imagine what tigers, or other big cats would do.
DB how many of these predators do think would be a good number , don’t forget to train them to target wild pigs. pig population at present is around 16 million, good luck with that.
why dont sell the meats
"Meet the ferals" there they are at 0:08 piling off the truck :-)
In my place, wild pigs are protected because they are critically endangered.
Why you are killing those?
Well, where do you live, since It makes all the difference. In Italy they're a problem too
Dingo would eat the pigs. But farmers have eradicated or decimated the dingos
Might help a bit, but coyotes in the USA have little impact on pigs. There are plenty of coyotes.
Shivam Joshi not as much as you think. I’ve personally shot coyotes that were 80-90 lbs. Predators aren’t stupid. They’ll go for the easier prey, like sheep. Have you ever seen how vicious a sow with piglets can be? No. It would result the same as when cats and foxes were introduced to cull rabbits. Look at the results. Bringing dingos back would only decimate the already fragile ecosystem even more
Possibly. There are red wolves in NYS. But the bloodwork came back coyote. And it could have been a few oddly large ones in that one section.
Your dreaming if you think a dingo is going to take a large boar down , not a chance , they will rip it apart and no dingo is going to put its neck on the line against a target that could kill it , even in a pack
Australia government should hire us Nagas of Nagaland from India to eradicate pigs from their land cause we are crazy for hunting and we would walk for miles just to shoot a single pig or climb mountains just to return empty handed. If you provide us with guns and ammo,we are go to go plus shipping charges.
Id hunt em all day if I could
They need to introduce predators to fix this problem. Some hundreds of neutered predators will do the trick. Same for rabbits and mice. Predators are key for ecobalance.
An invasive species complaining about an invasive species.
I bet that comment sounded deep and insightful in your head. Sadly it just made you look like a fool who doesn't know the meaning of the word migration.
An invasive species is introduced to a new habitat by an outside force: Humans move themselves; there is no outside entity facilitating their spread.
@@suelancaster6959 But the invasive species(nearly all of them), that we humans want to eliminate...were introduced by we humans.
And people being an invasive species...is really in the eye of the beholder. Humans, have invaded other humans and their lands, since the beginning of humans on this planet. So for example: Vikings showing up on the shores of England, in definitely an invasion. Europeans showing up on the shores of Australia and the New World, was definitely an invasion. Prehistoric humans arriving in areas that previously didn't have humans, and drastically altering the landscapes and ecosystems(like Australia), is definitely the definition of an invasive species.
It doesn't really matter how the invasive species gets there...the results are still the same.
@@Ispeakthetruthify It's called fixing a problem. I'm not willing to watch whole ecosystems destroyed because the solution makes weak people squeamish. Farmers are not going to put up with it either. Something tells me if your kale salads ever become to expensive to buy you will suddenly not be so keen on these pigs running loose.
Also theft of land has nothing to do with invasive animals. You are reaching and making yourself look dumb in the process. Words have meaning so invasive species and natural migration are not in the eye of the beholder. They mean what they mean.
For years I’ve written to farmers asking permission to shoot pigs in their property, with very little to no success. So I’m sorry, but no point crying about pig problems on farms when farmers don’t allow responsible, licences, referenced shooters who are willing to help out FOR FREE on their farms!! Farmers… let shooters on, week after week, and guaranteed after a few months you’ll be pig free, else nothing will change, only get worse.

There should be an opportunity to hunt those boars, it's free bacon.
In the video it covers feral pigs have diseases that can spread to other animals and humans. It's not worth the risk.
@@HardstylePete Test (s) for diseases available?
But pigs are cute and intelligent and frogs, turtles and snakes are not. Who cares!
You need to sort out your priorities mate. I hope your not an adult otherwise you are very ignorant
these pigs aren't cute and by the time they are adults they have tusks that will rip you from stem to stern if you try to get in their way
mate, if u saw a wild pig out in the bush, it’d rip ya guts open and eat u
