Scotty84 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Hey all. Name is scott, 24, live in townsville, but shall be moving to blackwater soon. Havent done any piggin as of yet, as the city life is mainly all ive been exposed to. minus a few campin trips here and there. Have just purchased myself a 2001 patrol ute and am lookin into dog breeds at the moment as i would like to get into piggin and the full outdoors life. Anyone know if there is many 'hot' spots around the blackwater area that are good for pigs? And also, do you all make your ute dog cages or do you buy, if so where from? I shall be watchin forum very closely,already written down a few training tips and some of your camp recipes so yeah..lovin it! Long live the dog! Cheers, Scott. Quote Link to comment
BrendanW Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Welcome to the site, hope you enjoy your time here. I don't know the blackwater area very well but there are a few members from there on here so you might get lucky and meet someone who will take you for a run. Wait until you get there and if you find somewhere to hunt then look at a local dog to buy, just see what other hunters have success with in that area. Martin of the site (look in the doggers supply section) makes racks, dog cages etc and his workmanship is excellent by all reports. Good luck Quote Link to comment

Some of the fellas who don't box them also have a similar setup as they often dress them out for dog tucker. You could make a small rack behind your dog box or get one made. The dog box is in front of these. Didn't sell these ones otherwise you can't have them sitting on the spare tyres without covers on them. Quote Link to comment
