Could there be Thylacines lurking in the remote areas of Tasmania, the Cape York Peninsula, or Papua New Guinea?

Lol no, here's the problem with these ''is X still alive?'' bullshit...
If they've been declared extinct for so long and they're still around, that equates to a breeding population, and a breeding population equates to some of the dumb animals wandering by humans and getting shot or captured as a result. If one existed we would know about it, and if any did after they were declared extinct they're certainly dead now. Plus the only place they could survive without their pups getting killed and adults getting usurped would be the Tasmanian Island and there is a major problem with that...
Surviving on a tiny island when humans have searched up and down that entire island, and continuing to breed, is impossible when everyone is out to gun you down.
It's one thing when we're talking a bunch of caimans living in one creek in the middle of a jungle with locals testifying they're there or turtles/tortoises hiding in remote areas and being underwater. It's different with roaming carnivorous mammals that would inevitably run into humans if they existed.

These mystery animal claims are a real trip as you get a lot of normal genuine people claming up and down they've seen them. There's also a lot of Australians swearing up and down they've seen bigfoot here in Australia, to the point there's an Australian bigfoot forum. I was a member for a short time (open investigative mind and all that) but got disillusioned pretty quickly mainly on account of lack of evidence being explained by claiming bigfoot is an interdimensional being. Even if that were true their logic still doesn't stack up. It's pretty whack and honestly a lot like a religion. Also run by the same crowd is this YouTube channel full of nearly 200 "first-hand" interview testimonials. If you're interested (don't blame you if you're not) have a listen to the first (oldest) interviews first: www.youtube.com/@yowiesightings/videosIt's a fucking spinout because the witnesses seem so fairdinkum. |

Yep Tristan we've got some real proper dumb cants over there, while on the other side of the coin there's some total legends like Hardcastle, myself and any other Aussies on this forum. You can never have the good without the bad ;DDD But regarding that Australian bigfoot channel lots of the people aren't just talking about a glancing sighting but proper long encounters, sometimes over days. They must be either very good actors or under-cover batty as hell. |

Have you done it yourself? |

If the story about humans eradicating thylacines from tasmania with rifles was true, I'd say "bullshit, they are definitely still in the untouched western woodlands, no way they could have got them all", but because the true story is dingoes and dogs eradicated and displaced them, I believe they are really gone. I think feral dogs/dingoes are quite thorough with their reach into the wilderness.

I think feral dogs/dingoes are quite thorough with their reach into the wilderness. Well it would be true with rifles because they'd be hunting them down with dogs anyways. What extinct animals do you think are still out there? I'm skeptical of every recently extinct insect/reptile and think that they can still be found. Every ocean animal declared extinct has the possibility of still existing. ''Extinct'' should probably be treated like biteforce and mph measurements. Inconclusive. Though animals trapped on an island full of humans and dogs are assuredly very dead and extinct. |

Have you done it yourself? Haven't done pig dogging myself and hardly any pig dogging in the family apart from a couple of uncles on mum's side joining in on some hunts with mates in a casual way. My pop had greyhounds and was an enthusiatic track guy. And a great uncle on the same side had race horses. But my pop's main gig was actually birds, he got into birds from his father and ended up having about the best exotic bird collection in the Hunter and was well-regarded in the Australian industry for his birds. Was even visited by the celebrity veternarian Dr Harry Cooper. Pop was a mean old bastard but treated his birds like gold, had about 30 averies and would go out bush twice a week and bring back garbage bags of sugar ants nests for the birds, as well as cooking boiled eggs everyday and crushing them up for them, on top of the seeds. When he got too old to go bush he bred maggots for the birds. He's gone and so are the averies, but in today's money his birds must have been worth in the millions. I think they were pretty much exotic birds, smaller ones. My family on dad's side were also bushies and had dogs, so going back into my grandfather's generation and before they might have used their dogs for pigging, not quite sure. I remember visiting my great uncles back in the 80s and they had a big row of kennels of really berserk completely unsocialized dogs that just wanted to rip the guts out of everyone besides their owners. They had to be kept in kennels all the time they were so unsocialized. By that point my great uncles were getting old so wouldn't have been able to hunt, just walked the dogs once a day. |

Haha, were they wild birds or birds he bought? Do you plan on pig dogging once you're able to have dogs? |

Haha, were they wild birds or birds he bought? Do you plan on pig dogging once you're able to have dogs? Definitely birds he bought, "exotic" (non-native) birds, like each tiny little bird worth thousands each. He did keep some native birds, including at times wild-caught ones and sometimes also tamed wild ones to eat bread out of his lap. But wild/native wasn't the claim-to-fame, it was his exotic collection. I'd like to pig dog sometime down the road. Reckon I'd find it hard to knife the pig like they do at first, but with a tiny bit of conditioning/exposure I think I'd handle it. How about yourself, got the pig-dogging bug and knife ready? |

Well whenever I've watched videos of dogs attacking boars screaming at the top of their lungs it's quite disturbing to me. I don't give a shit about mean boars, but small boars that immediately call for help... I'd honestly let it go just so it would stfu. I'd likely learn to deal with it eventually but it'd be unpleasant. Nobody in my family has anything to do with pig dogging, but yes I think I am in good stead to be good at it. Though if I were to move to Montana as a rancher I'd dog cougars, elk and pretty much everything. There's no boars there. Antonio might be pissed off at me for organizing fights with an illegal stolen tranquilizer gun and needlessly risking his Hairy Arabs... kidding... (I hope) I'd probably end up pig dogging here with some random dog bought from here: www.facebook.com/groups/1472144479691653At least at first. I'd be a homeless guy who hunts in the woods, I'm not in good stead to have a stable income. Lol. |

And I agree you seem suited to hunting with sighthound and their bull crosses. Yeah, weirdly here we get nothing but bulldogs while Australian dogs are crossed to sighthound to catch multiple pigs in one go. Even though sighthounds mean a bigger, faster dog and harder hit which would be useful here. I think I might stay here and blow everyone's mind with Hairy Arabs for a bit, or at least vacation and leave some here. That's if I get a good job and live in Montana. I'd do quite well with bulldogs and sighthounds, yes. We have a lot of bulldogs here as I said, and there's a lot of choices. I could get a pitbull, catahoula bulldog, ambull, dogo, mutt etc. for free. So if I do go homeless I don't need to spend shit to get a boar dog. |
