[QUOTE="nuggetino, post: 137737, member: 1884"] Interesting read on the dingoes/wild dogs. I hear them howling every night here in WA but haven't seen any since i crossed the Nullarbor. Was forced to kill one with my prospecting pick in Qld 2 months ago. I noticed the animal limping along the side of the road. I pulled over noting its unusual behaviour and grabbed my pick just in case. It became clear it had been struck by a car and had a broken back leg though on seeing me approach it must have sensed having no escape and charged at me. There was not way I was going to outrun it as I was about 10 meters from the car so I just stood there and hoped I'd be able to fight it off. I had to allow it to within a foot of me due to my short handled pick and like digging a hole thorugh concret I struck down on its noogin with all miy strength. Lucky it dropped like a sack of proverbial and it's suffering was over in an instant. It did leave me thinking I'd be in trouble if I ran into a whole pack of wild dogs while out detecting. [/QUOTE]
