After a long but highly successful trapline on some inland cattle properties, it was time to head over to the coast to start the next one. A change is as good as a holiday they say and there should be heaps of wild dogs and hogs!! What could possibly go wrong?

This week we bring to you the third section of our NZ Tahr hunting series.
Good mates, hunting hard for one of the worlds truly great game animals.

This had been a long but quite successful trapline. Was there a chance for one more dog as we travelled around pulling traps?
Already our thoughts were straying to the next property, the next pack of dogs and the next adventure. Stay tuned.

Hunting big bull Tahr in the high country of New Zealand, is one of the best and most challenging adventures you can find. Episode 1 was reposted an hour ago and here is episode 2 of our series.

Two Tahr hunting clips in the one night!! Brace yourselves.

Often, when you think you have "haunted" trap-shy dogs on your trapline, you simply need to go "one on one" with them. Get out into the thick stuff and "Howl them up".

What set off the trap on the Dirt Pile?
Was it the boar pig that visited, the cattle or was something there first?
We all know, if you miss catching a dog, they become super careful and you may never catch them again. Right?
Nothing is set in stone when you chase wild animals.

Way back in 2004, we came up with the idea of a multi-species Aussie hunt as a fundraiser for the RIDGE group. (www.theridgegroup.net)
We named it the Aussie Challenge, with the lucky winner hunting for fallow deer in Tasmania, Chital deer in North Queensland and Red deer in the Brisbane Valley. Fishing for trout, barramundi and Tuna was also on the list. Here is the Outdoor Channel episode filmed for us by Wolf Creek Productions of Michigan.

We seemed to be stuck on Twelve. Was the trapline going to fire again or was this "it" for this program? Was there a Lucky Thirteen and if so, which trap would fire? It's great to be alive and free isn't it?

Big Bulls of Coastal Queensland

It had reached "that" part of the program. We had been going really well but things suddenly slowed down and we knew if we couldn't pick up the tempo, it all could go out of tune quickly. With Brandon trying to take over the top job in the front seat, what could possibly go wrong?

Part two of our wild pig hunt with Matt. I thought we would find some good boars but the day just kept getting better. Wild pig hunting in Queensland, one of our favourite pastimes in the Aussie bush.
