Dog Problem.

G'day all Had a dodgey experience with wild dogs in Newnes State forest NSW a little while ago{this winter}.We rolled into a bush camp spot we had been to once before on saturday morning,planning to leave monday.This spot is about 6kms NW of Bungleboorie campsite,nice spot,quiet and secluded.Saturday and that night were good as was Sunday.After dinner on sunday night,about 7 pm, we revved up the fire ready to kick back and take in the solitude.Shortly after we heard a definite howl come from the scrub directly north of us about 100m in the scrub.These howls became more frequent and seemed to be edging closer.We had our own two muts with us and decided to throw them in the ute rather than risk a confrontation and give us achance to sus the situation.Not wanting a midnight or wee hours fiasco we decided to pack up most of our gear while still keeping tabs on the dogs in the srub,hoping they might move on.Wishful thinking!Directly behind us and a damn sight closer answering howls came back.We shot through rather than run the risk instead.Seems to be a sunday night special for these dogs when the main camp grounds are empty they go on the scavenge.Anyone with young kids or their own pets in this area might want to keep a close eye on them after dark.Wefound out the dogs were checking us out since early sunday morning.Anyway we were planning a lazy loop around WhiteCliffs to QLD bourder and were wondering if anyone has had a dog problem in these or broader areas.Rather go prepared !
Thanks Ian.
