I guess the bulk of my hunting has been spot and stalk. I like walking around. I’ve never put effort into camouflage for hunting(I get the impression animals are a lot less wary here, for obvious reasons), I just like to wear comfortable, breathable clothes. We’re not allowed to hunt roos, although people do. Heaps of pigs up here, but I’m hoping to get into some wild dogs this year and I’ll use it for that. The only way I’ve heard of guys getting dogs besides baiting is to howl them in. Which means basically you’re hunting from some kind of blind, which means I could just wear a full gillie, which kind of defeats the benefits of a head and shoulders, but I’ll still give it a go 🙂
I did talk to a guy recently who shot a dingo with trad gear while hunting pigs on the ground, but he said he stumbled across it while it was making a meal of a carcass. He was just in the right place at the right time.
Incidentally the legal distinction between a wild dog (fair game) and a dingo (protected species) is that if a canine is on private property, it is a wild dog.
Jans have you ever taken an antelope with trad gear? I only know a little about them but they sound like they’d be seriously challenging.
