I’ve chosen this spot because I’ve found a number of old scats, dingo droppings along
this side of the road, and what you will commonly find as well dogs moving along the road will
always follow the inside of the track, so I’m going locate a spot on the inside of
the curve, the wind direction is coming this way.
I use this as a pan cover, it’s organza, it’s actually a coppery bronze colour so
it helps to blend in with the soil if it ever gets to be exposed.
I like to have the front jaw, the loose jaw actually trapping it on the other side
And I’m going to set the trap out in here
You don’t want to dig the hole much wider than what you’ve got the trap
Now it’s important to get the trap bedded, in other words to get it so its sitting nice
and flat in the hole so it doesn’t move at all. I just put a little stick under there
to support the jaw so that if anything stands on that it’s not going to get up and move
underneath there.
Make sure you don’t get any rocks like that caught down in the spring or inside. Make
sure you have the material that you have around and on top of your trap isn’t going to foul
the action of the trap
Position some sticks and things so that they need to step over that
You don’t need to use a lot of attractant, I think it’s actually a negative to use
very much. I’m just going to use a few drops. This is dingo urine in here
Again, you’re just using a few drops in there and I’m going to put that in that
tuft of grass there. That’s covered up
Done.
