do you know if he does replacement covers and reflectors for the nighteaters??????mines got a few years on it and has a clear layer flakin off the lens...the reflectors gettin a bit dull but still throws plenty of light although compared to a new powerbeam it threw the same amount of light distance wise but there was a difference in brightness,,i still reckon you cant go past powerbeam,80 bucks for replacement reflector and lens and youve got a new light.
I don't know he does re polish the reflectors though.

I sent my brother in law around to see the night eater man. He has some of the best lights in the world. If you ever get the chance to check him out I would he is Victoria. They specialise in search lights. He will run you through the lights has has and you can compare he has a milo tin light that has to be seen to be believed. My brother in law took the 9" standard power beam and there was no comparision to the nighteater's. Night eater man advises it's all in the reflector that's what makes the difference.
The two biggest drawbacks with Night eater's are the price and the time it takes to get one.

Not sure how old your pup is. But I always train my pups with the following method
Get your hands onto some pigs ears. Even if you carn't get out yourself ask other people in your town to bring some back.
Before letting your pup out drag a ear along the ground and leave a small amount of food at the end of the trail as a reward. Start with small find and make it longer as he gets better.
After the small feed then play tug a war with the ear on the rope, Pups love it.
Your pup will soon relate the smell of the pig ear to the real thing.
Walking is the best method of teaching dogs to smell and learn the sent of different animals. Don't let them get to far away from you so you can call them back if they take off on a wrong sent.
Don't train a pup with other pups, its a recipe for disaster.
Finding of the ute comes with the dogs confidence of finding of the ground. Being beside a good lead dog helps.
Best of luck
Pressy
That's it in a nut shell and the old saying practice practice practice. There is no easy way other than buying one that does it and if your like me you will get a heaps bigger kick out training your own pup then buying a ute finder for 2 grand. No better feeling then watching your own dog do what you have trained it to do. Here is my bitch training her the same as pressy describes above only I use a pigs tail. The hardest thing for me is keeping my lugger away he loves it. Depending on the syle of dog you have will take longer for the softer breeds to lug the tail on the rope.

Youve gotta understand love we are very cautious on here after what happened to D wild when he rushes in and took out another new member on here {chickwdick] pretending to be a female hunter ,turns out she was a man eater.
Ha ha
Your a crack up Rick
Poor Widly would have been a real shame getting eaten by the man eater...
Hey
sunny coast plenty of chicks on here and plenty that get into it too. You just need to feel your way around the site first.
Its all a bit of fun...

Welcome back mate !!

cheers guys, will do, got a question btw, was reading up somewhere that u guys have the largest feral dogs in the world some going over 75kgs, is that true?
No mate,
They get pretty big but 75kg is off the mark. More around the 20 to 25kg mark if they breed with domestic dogs they can get bigger but anything over 35 to 40kg would be extremely rare in my opionion.
cheers

G'day all,
I'm thinking about getting a saluki next year and just want to know if anyone has one and what theyre like?
From what I've gathered they've got a fair bit of guts and have a big tank so can stick to foxes and such for long chases?
Our whippet/stag is bloody quick but just cant go long enough and I want something that can stay a bit longer on the chase,
any suggestions?
cheers,
Jack
Jackp I chase pigs but Rick L off this site has dog called "Willy" dane bloodhound x he is awesome on foxes and runs them down also very handy on pigs. But he is a very tall dog with a big tail. He sits on the back of foxes and runs them in to the dirt the best stamina I have seen from a big dog.

im new to this and based in brisbane and am the owner of a 17 month old american staffy. im looking at getting another dog when im in a more suitable place and im look at a BA but for now im stuck with the one. he's a good dog and weighs around 30 atm and is over knee height. i know there far from ideal for pigs but am still really keen to get started with what i have and see how i go.
i have heard that there have been pigs caught at gatton lately. is this comon knowlege?
if anyone has any advice that might help me that would be awesome.
cheers!
My bloke is cross Bull arab American Staffy. He goes alright and can find and just started quad finding still very early days on the quad finding.
Yes they are hard to get off but just need work my bloke will stay off a tied pig 80% of the time still working on that part. He didn't see a pig until he was 18months old.
One thing you will have is they give there all mate they don't hold back.IMO

It's interesting that most blokes from the US that chase pigs are from Texas. When I was there last year in Austin I couldn't find anyone that approved or liked chasing boars with dogs. Plenty that liked to shoot but sadly none that wanted to use dogs. Had great time in Buda but didn't shoot any pigs did have a crack at some ducks down Louisiana way on the way to Nawlings ( thats how the locals say it)
Cheers

And I look forward to showing u some of what I have to offer which is not much.Thanks again Mex
Mex,
I don't know about not much to offer. I was in Austin last year and wife had to pull me away from the Cabela's store in Buda after 4 hours. You blokes have heaps to offer. I did get the cold sholder from a couple of the sales staff. It seems chasing hogs with dogs wasn't the done thing. I tried to turn them around but they were pretty set in their ways ( they don't know what they are missing). The other Highlight from Texas was the Rudy's BBQ that was great.
Cheers
